PEIANC Community Engagement and Employment Workshops

PEIANC's Youth Settlement Services were able to respond quite ably to the changes in programming that arose as a direct result of COVID-19 curtailing many in-person activities. A number of ongoing programs, such as the Girl's Circle, BroZone, and Future Readiness were quickly modified and de- livered virtually to ensure ongoing client engagement. In fact, Future Readiness saw a dramatic in- crease in the number of participants for many of their sessions as the virtual format allowed for more interaction between the youth and presenters and the scheduling was more convenient for clients and their families, resulting in the decision to further deliver the program online to allow for greater youth client involvement.
