Who We Are
“It’s a second home, a turning point, a community.”
Sandwich Teen Action Group Mission
The Sandwich Teen Action Group is a community-based organization responding to identified needs of youth in the Sandwich area. We are committed to providing programs for positive life experiences in a safe and caring environment which enable youth to find support, cope with problems, and lead healthy lives.
Where It Began
STAG was founded in 1991 with a strong focus on empowering young women in Windsor’s west-end Sandwich community. The original Girls' Room created a safe space where girls could gather, talk openly, and explore topics like self-esteem, relationships, and personal goals. It was more than a program — it was a space for belonging and support, laying the groundwork for STAG’s ongoing commitment to teen mental wellness and leadership.
Expanding to Meet the Needs of Boys
Shortly after launching, STAG expanded its outreach to include boys, providing structure, mentorship, and connection in a safe, non-judgmental setting. The goal was to build trust, encourage emotional openness, and help young men develop confidence and life skills through guided discussions and group activities.
Major Focus: Empowering Youth
Safe, structured environments after school can make all the difference. For many, the hours after school are filled with uncertainty, time spent alone, on the streets, or surrounded by negative influences. STAG is a welcoming space to relax, connect, be themselves, and stay out of harm’s way.
Now located at 3735 King Street, our centre supports teens Monday–Friday in spaces like the gaming room, fitness room, gymnasium, Girls’ Room, Boys & Girls Group, the Resource Computer Lab, basketball court and more.
Today & Tomorrow
STAG today places a major emphasis on mental health, substance-use prevention, and building life skills. From peer-led discussion groups and workshops to active prevention projects, STAG empowers teens to make informed choices, build confidence, and thrive. Looking forward, STAG aims to deepen its impact through expanded community partnerships, volunteer initiatives, co-op placements, and enhanced youth leadership programs.
