Youth Group Registration (Online)
Some learning disabled students need to practice social skills with guidance in a supportive environment. Socially inappropriate behaviours, lack of self-esteem and self-confidence can add to the feelings of alienation and loneliness.
We offer this program for 11 to 16 year olds to help them develop the skills they need to build relationships and become accepted by their peers. We do this through hands-on activities that encourage teamwork and cooperation to give our members a chance put their social skills to use in real-world settings, under the guidance of our skilled facilitator. We provide a relaxed and fun environment for them to build friendships and strengthen their social skills with other youths with learning disabilities.
The Youth Group is only offered out of the North Peel location with events located in the Brampton area, but we welcome Mississauga participants. We usually meet from 1pm to 3pm every other Saturday from September to June, with the exception of holidays and school breaks. Some events are in our North Peel classroom, and others are off-site. Participants or their parents are required to arrange transportation to and from events. Please check our calendar for specific dates and times. The program costs $20 per school year for registration. There is an additional activity fee of between $2 and $10 per event (depending on the cost and nature of the activity).
Our program is designed to:
- Encourage friendship making;
- Aid in correcting and preventing social behaviour problems;
- Develop self-awareness;
- Create a relaxed and nurturing environment which encourages the development of positive interpersonal relationships.
