Youth Today

Our Youth Programs are designed to inspire and equip young individuals with the skills they need to thrive. Through engaging activities and mentorship, we aim to foster leadership and community involvement.

The shared connectedness between peers and how we communicated off each other's responses to the topics presented was a unique type of experience, along with the activities we did like the ghosts of the past where it can be easily applied in other areas of my life. The hand massage and grounding techniques with the lotion helped me and my mom release some of the stress from day to day duties and so learning that skill was quite helpful. The speakers made me feel seen as some of their opinions I hold more quietly than I'd like, but I felt no one else would acknowledge that viewpoint.

Youth Programs

Full-Circle

Our Preteen and Youth Services are designed to involve a young person throughout their development from their preteen to adolescence. Preteens can start participating in weekly after school programs at 10 years old, or be part of our Grade 7s transition preparation. Throughout high school, they can access a range of skills development programs and leadership opportunities to eventually become a youth leader in the community. Even in post-secondary, youth can continue their participation in various leadership capacities.
