Youth Transitions Program (YTP)

YTP gives youth between 12 and 19 a sense of belonging through one-on-one support and mentorship, and offers workshops to develop the life skills they need to be healthy, stable adults. Using a trauma-informed and strength based approach, young people gain resiliency, cultivate positive mental well-being, and gain the capacity to reach their fullest potential. Participants are encouraged to determine their goals and are guided on their journey to meet them with the help of our Youth Transition Support Workers. As well as one-on-one support, the Youth Transitions Program offers life skills workshops presented to groups and classes. The topics are as follows: Adulting life skills on topics ranging from relationships to finances to help youth better prepare for adulthood Anger Management how we can express healthy anger, understand our emotions, and avoid having anger control us Post-Secondary Preparation what options are available at university, college, apprenticeship, and the work-place; how to prepare for them and how to access them Learning To Breathe (Mindfulness) improve emotional regulation, attention, and self-awareness Finally, YTP provides volunteer peer mentoring services. The mentors will work with participants in homework clubs to gain a greater awareness of the next steps after high-school and boost the success necessary to take those steps. This is a great opportunity for both the participants and the mentors.
