Is your agency interested in some youth-led workshops on Cross Cultural Conflict Resolution?

If you have youth leaders in your organization that you believe could benefit from world-class training from YOUCAN - this is the event you've been waiting for! YOUCAN's YouthQUAKE will offer youth training in cross cultural conflict resolution, facilitation and action planning. A week full of training that can truly benefit your youth serving agency.

Youth from your agency have three weeks in May to choose from:

(2) May 11 – 17
(3) May 18 – 24

Each week is limited to 120 participants and 5 adult mentors (plus YOUCAN staff and trainers).

Accommodations for YouthQUAKE are at the Terry Fox Youth Centre in Ottawa (home of Encounters with Canada).
