Youth Involvement:
In the Fredericton area, the youth will have access to the Centre directly. This will enable the youth to have a safe place to come to where they will be able to interact with their peers. The Centre will strive to encourage new ideas as well as fostering a place where they can let those ideas flourish.
Services Offered:
As this is a fairly new Centre we hope to achieve a 'Drop-In Centre' with a very wide variety of resources available to the youth. Information on various Aboriginal driven programs such as the 'Aboriginal Head Start program', 'Skigin Elnoog Housing Corporation', 'Aboriginal Human Resources Development Strategy', etc.
Our take on Leadership and youth:
Everybody is a leader; they need a foundation which will allow them to realized their abilities. With this program we will play an important role in the development of their foundations which is crucial to the lives of our youth and whatever paths they choose to take.
Youth will have extensive opportunities in which they will be able to build on their leadership skills and capabilities. Youth will be able to participate in workshops that will build up their confidence needed to conduct presentations for school, work and in the community.
