Who we are
Youth Hub Executive Director
Toni Tilston-Jones (She/Her) is the Youth Hub Executive Director. Toni is a queer, settler who has lived in Treaty 1 territory her whole life. She has her Master of Social Work and was inspired to get into this field of work because of youth she met and worked alongside of in her early 20’s. Toni loves, loves, loves working in community. She is always in pursuit of social justice and committed to dismantling all forms of oppression. Toni is a sister, a parent, a wife, a friend, an advocate, and a community member. She loves being outside, reading, playing sports, being active and hanging out with her family, including her 2 dogs and of course, the cat.
Director of Community & Integrated Services
I am passionate about supporting youth and families and creating spaces where people feel seen, valued, and connected. As Director of Community & Integrated Services, I work closely with community partners and frontline teams to build inclusive, responsive programs grounded in real needs. I believe in leading with kindness, collaboration, and equity, and I’m grateful to be part of a community that’s always showing up for one another. Outside of work, I love cooking for family and friends and volunteering in community events.
Peer Leader
Hi there! My name is Alexandra and I am a Peer Leader at Huddle South Central. I started my journey with Huddle back in May 2022 as a intern through the Career Internship Program at Windsor Park Collegiate. I was then hired as a Peer Assistant in July 2022, and then hired as a full time Peer Leader in September 2022 and have been here since! Come to Huddle South Central and put me onto your music and chat to me about your pets! I'm always down for a friendly game of Blokus and or Mario Kart. I hope to see you soon! 🙂
Bilingual Addictions Support Counsellor
Hi! When I’m not with family, friends, playing squash, running, cooking & baking, watching TV, going to comedy, travelling, I am at work being a bilingual youth addictions counsellor (Bachelor of Social Work). I’m so grateful to be able to meet such wonderful people in my role and what I enjoy the most about counselling is being able to learn about people’s gifts and strengths and support people in using them to work towards their goals. Life can be so challenging and lonely at times, and I believe that connecting with others can really help.
Counsellor - MSW, RSW, BA (Hons)
Hi I'm Jolene a counsellor and registered social worker at Huddle South Central! I strive to create a safe, person-centred, and compassionate space for youth to explore their mental health concerns. I use a variety of different counselling approaches and help support individuals in finding their own path for moving forwards. Outside of Huddle I enjoy reading, aerial fitness, hiking, and spending time with my dog Gizmo. I look forward to working with you to create the change you are looking for 🙂
Service Naviation Specialist
Hello, I'm Omar the Service Navigation Specialist at Huddle South Central. I love playing sports and watching the NFL. FLY EAGLES FLY! I am a father and uncle to many and a friend to the rest. Fantasy novels are my reading choice and comedies make me laugh, because they are funny. I believe that every youth deserves to have a chance to reach their fullest potential and strive to give them knowledge of and access to the resources that will help them meet and exceed their expectations.
The services at Huddle South Central are provided by the Youville health centres, in collaboration with Centre de santé St. Boniface, Aulneau Renewal Centre, Sara Riel, Marymound, Women’s Health Clinic and Teen Stop Jeunesse.
At Huddle, youth have a safe space to be authentically themselves. We welcome and respect people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, ethnicities, faiths, race/nationalities, and abilities.
We empower all youth, families, and service providers to show the same respect to others and to celebrate each other’s differences.
