El programa de apoyo y conexión para jóvenes - liderazgo y resiliencia (Supporting and Connecting Youth Leadership and Resiliency Program, SACY LRP, por sus siglas en inglés) es un programa de liderazgo y participación juvenil que sirve a jóvenes de finales de la escuela primaria y principios de la secundaria en Vancouver.
El programa está abierto a los jóvenes que asisten a las escuelas donde opera el programa, y se da prioridad a los jóvenes que podrían beneficiarse de una mayor conexión con sus pares, con adultos, con la escuela y con la comunidad.
El SACY LRP involucra a los jóvenes en grupos de resiliencia semanales, programas mensuales basados en aventuras y experiencias mensuales de voluntariado comunitario para apoyar el logro de estos resultados. Todo el personal de LRP trabaja de una manera culturalmente sensible.
What to expect
The LRP engages youth in weekly resiliency groups, monthly adventure based programming, and monthly community volunteer experiences to support the achievement of these outcomes. All LRP staff work in a culturally sensitive way.
LRP runs all year long and focuses on the needs and wants of the program participants.
Youth in the LRP program take part in activities including
- weekly resiliency and leadership development groups,
- monthly adventure activities and leadership learning, and
- monthly community service leadership learning.
All of these activities are facilitated by skilled youth engagement staff, but the details are driven by the youth in a specific group. The activities provide participants with regular opportunities for positive adult mentorship, positive peer engagement and social emotional learning.
