Be that leader
Staying true to yourself in a new land.
For young people who are new to Canada, this school-based program helps them build positive connections in their school and community and empowers them to create positive change in the spaces they are in.
Loneliness and isolation can be particularly hard for young people. Here, we help create a sense of belonging in routine spaces, such as school to support positive growth and development and prevent negative influences, like gang activity. Young people who have the tools, knowledge and support, available in their language and respectful of their culture, are in a much better place to become positive leaders in their (and our) community.
Programs are currently offered for youth ages 12-14yrs, and 15-21yrs. Groups meet 1 – 2 times a week.
We are currently accepting referrals for youth 15-21 yrs of age. All of our groups are provided at no cost. For referrals and/or more information please call 204-294-1736.
