Youthreach provides engaging and interactive no fee group workshops for youth aged 8 to 17. We address those hot topics that youth are encountering daily whether it be at school, in relationships or online.
Program Details
Youthreach group workshops offer youth opportunities to explore topics and get helpful information about important issues young people are dealing with daily. Our Youthreach group workshops are facilitated with engaging videos, discussions, activities, and demonstrations to keep youth engaged and help make the material stick! Youthreach also offers more unique group opportunities for youth to explore these topics in a different delivery method, such as art therapy.

Program Goals
Youthreach aims to provide youth with the space to explore new and potentially challenging information, meet new people, provide practical tools for them to apply in their lives and a space to ask those burning questions. Youthreach’s goal is to provide youth with up to date and relevant information on these important topics so youth can move through life with knowledge of the law, tools for their toolbox, and understanding of where they can reach out for further support.
