PAC4Teens

PAC4Teen members work alongside Recreation staff to help plan, promote, and support youth programs, special events, and community initiatives throughout the year. 

• Through this hands-on involvement, participants gain first-hand experience in the recreation field; learning about program development, event operations, customer service, leadership, and community engagement.
• PAC4Teens members contribute to a variety of projects and events that benefit the community while developing transferable skills that can support future education and employment opportunities.
• In addition to earning volunteer hours, participants have access to professional development opportunities, including certifications and training such as HIGH FIVE® Principles of Healthy Child Development and Standard First Aid/CPR. These experiences help build confidence, strengthen resumes, and provide valuable workplace skills.

PAC4Teens is also a great way to meet new people, develop friendships, and connect with other youth who are passionate about making a difference in their community.

• meet once a month at George Ashe Community Centre
