YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
TAKE AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY AND GROWTH
Take part in a tailored educational and regenerative field trip at one of our beautiful campuses, immersed in nature, surrounded by like-minded peers and led by inspiring mentors and certified teachers.
Our weeklong, overnight leadership programs are part of our emerging leaders curriculum. They are designed to work with youth and help cultivate their inner leadership qualities while at the same time give them a powerful, life changing, inspiring, fun, healthy experience in nature.
Leadership education programs take place in Ontario, Canada at our Riverstone Campus and in Perth-Andover, New Brunswick at our Pathsaala Campus.
We can deliver these unique educational programs for as young as 11 years old up to adults.
With these Leadership Programs we work organization to organization. Organizations and community groups bring their youth participants to us along with their own youth supervisors. Types of groups that come to us on a regular basis are Indigenous youth groups, Non-profit organizations serving Inner City Youth, Student Council Groups, University and College Groups, and more.
Every program is custom built to match the needs and educational outcomes of the partner group. They are non-profit and there to serve the non-profit youth community. Many of the organizations we serve return annually. For some we fundraise collaboratively or are able to provide resources through grants, enabling organizations to bring groups back year after year.
Engage in skill building workshops, cultural experiences and leadership development, not to mention, a whole lot of fun activities. At the heart of each program is education while empowering youth to find their voices, articulate their needs and contribute to their communities.
