Safe Harbour Youth Ambassador Diversity Program
The Youth Ambassador program is a provincial program through AMSSA (Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies) that has adapted the Safe Harbour Program for children and youth. Youth receive training in order to lead workshops for children surrounding the ideas of diversity and increasing awareness of the Safe Harbour decal.
If you are a youth in grades 9-12 interested in becoming a Youth Ambassador or if you are a teacher or other caring adult interested in your group of children in grades 4-7 receiving a workshop, please contact us at 604-324-6212.
