The YMCA Community Action Network (YCAN) is an innovative national program that engages leaders across Canada to address community needs through service projects. The program, which is part of the Canada Service Corps initiative, supports youth with opportunities to identify and execute a local service project that is meaningful to them. Youth involved will work together to select, lead, deliver, and evaluate a service initiative in their own community. Community service projects will establish a network of community contacts and stakeholders, create opportunities for participants to thrive and learn new skills, and address a local community need. YCAN is a good fit for you if: You are between the ages of 15-30 You are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person who has been granted refugee status in Canada You are passionate about learning new skills, building community connections, and making a difference in your community YCAN Saskatoon has completed 6 service projects to date. Over 90 youth contributed to the success of these service projects, which have included creating an online community amidst the pandemic, distributing Covid care packages, building community food pantry boxes, implementing an organic waste system in a high school, facilitating environmental sustainability workshops, creating a community mural, leading a newcomer-focused city and bike orientation for youth, and a speaking and running event aimed at raising awareness of homelessness in Saskatoon. https://ymcagta.org/youth-programs/action

Saskatoon Early Years Family Resource Centre

Program Overview The Saskatoon Early Years Family Resource Centre is set to open to families this Fall! The centre offers programs and services for families with children 5 years of age and younger. Everything is free of charge to families and all families are welcome. What can you do at the centre? Families can join groups focused on music, art, reading, parenting, early development and more. Parents and caregivers can connect with early childhood professionals such as nurses, counsellors and early childhood educators. Parents and caregivers can play and connect with their child in the drop-in play space and through guided activities. The centre is a welcoming and supportive place in which families can play, connect and grow together.

What about COVID-19? Due to COVID-19, things will look a little different at the centre. Our groups will be limited to a small amount of families and families will need to pre-register for the programs they would like to join. We will open up our drop-in space for families on a pre-registered basis and the space will be reconfigured to allow for thorough sanitization (we’ll be putting the pillows, puppets and other fabric items away for now). We will also be offering programs and resources virtually and through other non-contact formats. You can find out all the details about what we’ll be offering and when, on our website at www.saskatoonfamilycentre.ca or email us at frc@ymcasaskatoon.org.
