BGC Okanagan receives $10,000 grant for youth recreation programming
During intermittent periods, when funding was available to run the youth drop-in program, BGC Okanagan have offered 482 services to 43 youth.This year BGC Okanagan says they plan to focus on community partnership and volunteer opportunities, as youth leadership and volunteerism is embedded in the program.
“Our goal for the program is that by accessing, youth can connect with their peers, engage with positive adult supports, and develop life-skills and leadership skills,” said Butterworth. “By participating in a local youth centre, youth can feel a sense of community amongst themselves but also a greater connection to the greater community of Summerland as well.”Since 2017, Rogers has awarded hundreds of Ted Rogers Community Grants for programs that support youth.According to the press release, this year recipient organizations will help over 50,000 youth in 250 communities across the country.
