About Us

Operation Come Home serves as a center for homeless and at-risk youth aged 16-29, dedicated to providing employment, education, and support services. Our programs prioritize the needs and aspirations of youth, fostering personal growth on an individual level.

Operation Come Home, previously known as "Operation Go Home," was founded in 1971 in Ottawa, ON by Reverend Norman Johnston who recognized the unique need to assist runaway youth across Canada in returning home to their families.
