McDonald’s Meal Monday: Special Meal Day!
A mid-day, youth social with everyone’s favourite guilty pleasure meal, McDonalds.
Message Monday: Youth Voices
We believe in #BreakingTheSilence by offering the youth we serve an opportunity to share their story. In an online segment we call Youth Voices, our young people are given the chance to anonymously share their journeys, struggles, and success stories. On the Thursday of Youth Week, a writing station will be made available for youth to once again put forth their #YouthVoices submissions.
Movie Monday: Outdoor Movie Night
We host a Movie Night for youth every Monday, but this time we’re taking things to the big screen! Youth can join us outdoors on The Quad for a special movie night projected under the stars. Movie TBD.
