"We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn."
-- Peter F. Drucker
Cultural Youth seeks to engage children and youth in the mentorship program to accelerate the
personal and professional development of mentees. This is achieved by providing mentees with
guidance, advice and feedback from mentors with more experience than themselves.
Mentoring has also been linked in studies to social-emotional development benefits,
improvements in youth perceptions of parental relationships, and better prospects for moving
on to higher education.

Youth Connections Unlimited specializes in supporting young people to determine their career
path and in their job search. We meet youth where they are at in their work-related journey,
and provide support and opportunities so that all young people can reach their potential. Our Career Services team will offer some career and employment programs to support youth ages
15 to 30.
The first step in getting started, is meeting with a Volunteer Career and Employment
Counsellor, who can help to assess eligibility and interest in YCU program. Our Employment
Counsellor will offer individualized supports with resume building, interview preparation, job
shadowing and job searching, and help youth to connect to employment training programs.
Our employment training programs help young people to build their skills and confidence
around the workplace. Youth can participate in interactive workshops, gain experience within
YCU's social enterprises, and receive the support from a Job Developer in finding a paid
placement within the community!
