The purpose of this project is to help immigrant youth realize that whatever stage or situation in life they find themselves in, they can still make a difference and a personal choice to rebuild their broken pieces with our support. This program will support their mental and emotional well-being, we aim to help our youth build the capacity to gain leadership skills for their future. In this, they will increase their self-worth, self-esteem, and self-value. We will also be supporting and mentoring students from visible minorities both locally and internationally in order to bridge the gap between their ethnic culture and Canadian culture. The hope is to reduce mentally destructive attitudes and create a safe environment in our community.
