School's Out Leadership Skills Group - Summer Edition!
With generous support from United Way British Columbia, Touchstone is pleased to offer a summer extension of the School’s Out Leadership Skills Group. This program provides children who participated during the school year with the opportunity to stay connected and continue building skills over the summer, supporting a smooth transition back to school in the fall.
The program features a variety of hands-on activities and experiences designed to build confidence, strengthen leadership skills, and inspire participants in a fun and supportive environment.
