City to City is a new leadership development program for teens aged 13 to 17, that explores community from different locations, experiences, and lenses. Teens will visit 3 community spaces over 1 week; a rural location, a city, and an Indigenous community space. The City to City programs explores themes of built environment, food, transportation, social location, and culture. Through group and self-reflective activities teens will develop leadership skills of collaboration, curiosity & openness, active listening, self reflection and social awareness, humility and attention to privilege and posture in community work. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for youth to gain a curious and critical perspective of social issues and solutions within community through insight into different life experiences.

This program will run for 1 week ( August 14 - 18 2023) and participants will receive 40 volunteers hours for attending all 5 days.

City to City applicants will be contacted for an interview time in April.
