Second Take Your Shot event coming up LEAMINGTON —The Bridge Youth Resource Centre is hosting its second annual Take Your Shot event. Youth between the ages of 17-24 in the Windsor-Essex or Chatham-Kent area are eligible to apply for either the entrepreneurial business or bursary competition. Prizes for both streams are upwards of $20,000 for a total of $90,000 being given away at the event to local youth. For the entrepreneurial stream, youth need to have an idea for a business they’d like to open or already have a business operation. For the education
stream, additional eligibility criteria are outlined depending on which bursary youth are applying for. Applications for both are open until April 1, 2022. Visit https://thebridgeyouth.ca/take-yourshot/ for all competition details. Last year’s finalists had this to say about the event: “This was an amazing initiative that I am very thankful I could participate in. This program really allowed me to take my business to the next level and I would highly recommend anyone considering to apply to do so,
important to them.” The fair will be held virtually March 21 to 25, 2022 from 10 am to 1 pm each day. Different theme-based educational webinars and live interactive classes will be offered daily. Theme days include: “Living Healthy Longer”; “Let’s Talk Social Connection”; “Aging at Home: There’s Help Out There”; “Caring, Planning and Safety”; and “Let’s Talk
you won’t regret it!” “The Take Your Shot Bursary has provided me with the ability to fund my future and work towards my future goals,” said another participant. The Bridge’s vision is that every youth reaches their potential and this initiative supports the organization’s program goals to provide education and job services directly or through collaborative partnership support.

active as they age,” says Jershy. “We want people to feel more connected and less isolated as our communities are starting to reopen.” It’s easy to get involved by visiting www.eventbrite. ca/e/270768294257. For more information on this event, you can email to questions.vccc@ gmail.com.
