We are currently seeking applications for our Go Girls!, Game On! and Explorations after school programs.
Go Girls! is a group mentoring program for female-identifying youth in grades 4 – 7 (age requirement may vary depending on location of program) that focusses on physical activity, balanced eating and self-esteem. The single, most important goal of the program is to positively shape the lives of young people by helping them build a positive self-image – setting them on a path to reach their full potential in life.
Game On! is a group mentoring program that provides male-identifying youth in grades 4 – 7 (age requirement may vary depending on location of program) with information and support to make informed choices about a range of healthy lifestyle practices. Through participating in traditional and non-traditional physical activities, complemented with healthy eating support, participants are engaged in life skills, communication, and emotional health discussions designed to engage participants in the pursuit of life-long healthy lifestyles.
Children who participate in Explorations choose from a list of different topics to explore such as: drawing/sketching, drama, baking, mixed media art, science, etc. Mentors from the Langley community provide a safe and fun atmosphere to assist children in building their skills in their chosen Explorations topic through interactive learning and demonstrations.

- Promote the importance of positive mental health and regular physical activity
