Project Impact Statement: Through collaborative efforts we hope to create collective impact in our community to help empower, connect, and support rural Strathcona County youth aged 12-18. By increasing access to meaningful and relevant recreation and socialization that is inclusive and equitable, we aim to increase youth-led program development and youth engagement. We hope to develop safe gathering spaces where youth can socialize, feel connected and be provided support and resources.
