About Us

The primary objective of the I-YES project is to provide services and activities with a multicultural and client-centred approach based on an assessment of the specific needs of each individual youth to twelve immigrant youth-at-risk in the age group of 15-30 years old in the Capital Regional District. The ultimate objective is to help 12 project participants make positive changes in their life and increase their employability in the local labour market.
The 24 week pilot project starts on Oct. 4 10 and the end date of Mar. 18, 11
