While they settle back into student life, Youth for Youth will be taking a break, be sure to follow the team on social media and through Youth News to keep up to date with them over the school year!

Canada Life Young Leaders Program
|
The Pillar Nonprofit Network in London is accepting applications for the Canada Life Young Leaders program for the 2019/2020 year.
This partnership with London Youth Advisory Council and sponsored by Canada Life provides young people in our community with a unique leadership opportunity. The program matches youth aged 18-24 with a nonprofit organization, providing them the opportunity to serve as an ex-officio Board member and learn more about effective nonprofit governance.

Transition can be challenging, whether it is to a new grade, a new school, or a whole new town! There are some wonderful resources out there, and here is one that was developed by Ryerson University in Toronto.
The ThriveRU initiative at Ryerson University was developed to teach the skills associated with resilience, well-being and thriving in both an academic and personal context
Cultivate Your Happiness: A ThriveRU Weekly Workbook, was designed to anticipate the challenges of each week of each term, and provide an exercise that students can use to increase their capacity to be resilient in the face of the challenge of that week
