Through debate, discussion, leadership activities, skills workshops and dramatic arts we examine and explore these traits as they relate to our lives and community.
Community involvement and outreach are also core aspects of our PowerFilled Youth TO. The PFYTO team continues to show their commitment to creating positive community engagement opportunities.
