Mini Me-to-We
Mini Me-to-We is a ten-week program for 11-13-year-old girls that helps them recognize their strengths to increase their resiliency.
We provide light snacks and guided learning activities such as mindfulness, crafts, group games, outings, and guest speakers. Each activity is designed to help individuals discover their strengths while building self-help and social skills and enriching their self-esteem.
Our goal is to help the girls recognize the positive impact they can have in their lives, their families’ lives, and the community they live in. Some of our activities may include getting to know each other, making mind jars, visiting a fire station, and baking cookies to distribute as Random Acts of Kindness.
This program is part of The Resilience Project, and is funded by the Lyle S Hallman Foundation.
Youth Recreation
Our youth recreation program involves youth ages 16-22. We hold the program in The Family Centre gym every week.
The program is designed for youth to support others and encourage them to stay off the streets. This program usually involves the youth playing basketball or hosting talking circles, promoting healthy relationships and communication skills.
