Testimonials
“As a recreation programmer, this training lays an important foundation to those new to understanding inclusion and how to apply it within our roles.”
“We have been using the All Youth Matter workshop as part of the Recreation Leadership Diploma Program at Langara College for the past 5 or 6 years. It is a valuable workshop that is aligned with the learning outcomes in our course and has always been facilitated and delivered very thoughtfully and professionally. Students really learn a lot and our class discussions have been very rich after the workshop.”
“I can use this knowledge in everyday situations to make others feel more included/accepted, to advocate for change and to address instances of discrimination.”
