About Robert Solem

Rob was first introduced to working with youth through a post-secondary practicum with the Edmonton John Howard Society’s Youth Housing First program. In 2020, Rob continued working with youth and adults with Bissell Centre at the Edmonton Expo Drop-in Shelter, where many city agencies worked together to assist vulnerable populations during early days of Covid. These efforts continued onward through to 2021 at the Edmonton Convention Centre 24/7 Drop-in Shelter, where Rob was able to assist in several positions including in a Site Lead capacity.

Rob then joined Bent Arrow Traditional Healing Society and their Community Outreach Transit Team. While partnered with a Transit Peace Officer, Rob had the opportunity to help several youths take many significant strides forward. Wishing to do youth outreach work as a central focus, YOUCAN Youth Services was the perfect fit. Rob feels true gratitude to be part of the Relentless team. Rob appreciates being able to be present daily for his youth as they work together to ask important questions and strategize what actions are going to lead to dynamic successes now and going forward.
