Over the past 6 months, 6 at-risk youth participated in the inaugural Service Canada-funded YSI program placing each of the youth in various programs at CONC (Drop-In, LOFT and NOOK).

The youth spent 30 hours a week over 6 months working in these programs, and attended employment skills training workshops for one day each week over that time period. The program came to a close with a lunch party for all those involved, including Board Member Kevin and ED Lynn Daly.
