Indigenous Youth Programming with OYEP and
Careers: The Next Generation
We worked with our great partners, Outland Youth Employment Program and “Careers” to bring JA’s Grade ?? “program name” to 50 Indigenous youth in Fort McKay First Nation and McMurray Métis.
Financial Literacy Month
In November we gave JA to 2000 students from across Northern Alberta, boosting their financial literacy for life with programs proudly presented by Servus.
Grande Prairie “Level Up”: Youth Career Exploration Event
We collaborated with Communities Building Youth Futures (CBYF), Careers GP, and the Grande Prairie Regional College at Level Up: impacting over 170 students to address that community’s low high school graduation rate.
What Teachers Are Saying:
100% of JA’s teachers surveyed report JA career exploration and mentorship events are important to students’ learning and development. Teachers said: “It was valuable!”, and, “I loved the fact that it was local people who could give real life experiences.”
