Their stepsFill in the Request an Intake Appointment form on Jessie's website, or call 416-365-1888 or email mail@jessiescentre.org You can also drop by 205 Parliament Street during opening hours first. At your intake appointment you meet a counsellor, who explains the services and gives you a tour of the centre. Tell your counsellor you want the School Program: there are 12 spaces, and the counsellor tells you more so you can see if this school fits your goals. Once you finish high school and are going on to post-secondary education, ask your counsellor about Jessie's Scholarship program.
