Learn More About Exploring Our Roots
Exploring Our Roots provides racialized youth a space to discuss personal identity while learning to celebrate and embrace their own culture, uniqueness and diversity, as well as developing respect and acceptance for others. Youth will establish social connections and build positive mentoring relationships, build self-esteem and positive self-identity.
We encourage mentors for this program to have lived experience/identify as part of the racialized community.
