Serve! Engaging Youth For Change

Do you want to do something after school that strengthens your leadership, job and life skills? Do you want to improve your community? Are you in grades 8, 9 or 10?

“Step Up” is Serve’s March Break program for youth aged 13 - 16 years old (in grades 8 - 10). Youth participate every day during March Break. During this time they will:

volunteer in service projects that help the local community
participate in educational workshops on diversity, bullying, assertiveness, conflict management and more
increase their self-confidence, leadership, communication and problem solving skills

Upon completing Step Up, youth take part in a graduation celebration and receive both a certificate and small financial award for their commitment to achieving their goals.

Interested in taking part? In order to sign up you must be:

Interested in teamwork
Wanting to volunteer in the community and earn volunteer hours
Wanting to strengthen leadership, job and life skills
Available to participate from approximately 9:30 am until 4pm during March break for ALL five days

Passport To Participation

When I started at Serve Canada, I was 21 years old, had never had a full-time job for longer than two months and was a year and a half clean from a crippling heroin addiction which I allowed to rob me of the opportunities every youth has when they are in high school. In the program, my personality came out for the first time. I discovered my natural leadership abilities but I also learned about the difference one person can make.
