RIDEAU-ROCKCLIFFE Community Resource Centre

03.2022 - 06.2022
While interning wat the Youth Services Bureau at RRCRC, I was able to create my own program for the children under our care. The program focused on Mental Health for kids, and was motivated with the great need I observed while working with/and getting to know the families in the area. Essentially, I observed the negative beliefs demonstrated by the children-about themselves and their community- and researched how to reverse this by creating a space where they could hear edifying words about themselves, while equally sharing these positive qualities with one another.
I also assisted weekly programs advanced by colleagues, where by we fostered after school programs for youth between the ages of 5 and 30. These programs varied in scope and were age appropriate per group. They included, art projects with the younger groups, soccer practices with the older groups, and were all focused on providing key support for community building, all while as promoting mental, emotional, and physical health.
