Work and Independent Skills Program

For youth aged 16-18 who have entered into a youth agreement with the Ministry of Child and Family Development (MCFD). The purpose of these agreements are to encourage independence, return to school, and/or gain work experience and life skills, and protect a youth’s right to maintain happy and healthy independence. For more specific information about Youth Agreements, please contact the MCFD office 250-423-5311.

We support youth to uphold their agreements by teaching and assisting with skills such as budgeting, maintaining a residence, healthy and safe food preparations, resume writing, job hunting, and communication. We can help youth access services, self-advocate and plan for their education.
