Youth Outreach

The Community Connections Youth Program is designed to provide events and activities for the youth in Revelstoke.  The project aims to provide healthy social opportunities for youth by focusing on participation in arts and cultural activities. This project ensures that all youth have equal access to events through the provision of “free” activities.  It also strives to develop the leadership capacities in local youth by including them in all stages of the planning process. Youth will be able to improve their self-confidence and build on their internal assets by being directly involved in determining which events should be held, finding venues for events, participating in the events, and evaluating the events. This program enables youth to expand their repertoire of social and recreational activities while simultaneously increasing the profile of youth in Revelstoke.
