BGC Winnipeg (formerly Boys & Girls Clubs of Winnipeg)

Congratulations to the 2023-2024 class of Youth Recreational Activity Workers! The YRAW program provides life and academic skills for individuals ages 18-29, who live in or around #Winnipeg's inner city, and face barriers to obtaining their post-secondary education. The YRAW program trains young people through hands-on learning to deliver positive recreational opportunities to children and youth, and empowers them to draw from their own personal experiences in the process. Combined with the educational component from RRC Polytech, students gain the working knowledge to provide healthy development programs to youth and become role models in their own communities. Thank you to all the friends and relations who came out to today's graduation. #OpportunityChangesEverything
