For example, some schools may request a STEM-focused program, featuring hands-on activities like robotics or engineering challenges. Others may opt for a more holistic mix, combining physical fitness, wellness workshops, and literacy sessions.
By co-creating programs with our partners, we ensure every offering is relevant, meaningful, and rooted in the needs of the children and communities we serve.

We got to meet lots of newcomer families. We saw that lots of networking happening at those events. We also got to meet a lot of very cool people. At those events the feedback we gotten is that the different community organizations that we allowed newcomer families to meet with. So many partners organization had a chance to speak at those events, facilitated sort of community engagement for newcomer families.

The Youth Work Exposure Program provided me with the necessary training to find a job, particularly, working with children and youth. The sessions on workplace communication and child development taught me a lot, which gave me the confidence to apply for other jobs. I am doing well in the job interviews by applying the knowledge I gained from the program.
