Saskatoon Community Youth Arts Programming

About Personal development Life skills Empowerment Saskatoon Community Youth Arts Programming (SCYAP) is Saskatoons leading organization for youth employment engagement, free art studio access, art workshops and gallery space for emerging artists. SCYAP Inc. is a charitable and non-profit organization that helps youth at risk through art, cultural and employment programming, and provides inclusive art drop-in programs, art workshops and employment readiness training. SCYAP was established in 2001 by Darrell B. Lechman, to offer street-level, youth focused solutions to crime, unemployment and youth homelessness by using our youths artistic interest and inclination as a tool to personal development and redirection towards a healthier, happier and more productive life. Weve since expanded our service model to include programming that is accessed by children and adults of all socio-economic standing. One of SCYAPs principal goals is to foster acceptance, integration and equality within the Saskatoon community by carrying out collaborative projects with different sectors, such as business, government, social and health services, and promoting inclusiveness and diverse cultural expression in classes, workshops and presentations. SCYAPs programs give youth the opportunity to make a connection with the wider community and earn the recognition and confidence that comes with it. Our dream is to give young people hope and the tools to succeed. Board of Directors SCYAP is guided by a board of directors who are professionals in the fields of law concerning Aboriginal issues, community development, corrections and the development of youth employment and business skills.
