PEIANC Community Engagement and Employment Workshops
Youth Settlement Services
Our Youth Settlement Services team (YSS) worked their magic and created the YSS Connects Program - offered
through July and August to replace previous years'summer camps. This program allowed youth to learn, have fun
and interact with others while building friendships.
Parental feedback was overwhelmingly positive and this new initiative proved to be a tremendous benefit to clients
in both cities and rural areas of the province.
When word was received that the public school system would be returning to in-person classes in the Fall of 2020,
YSS was ready. School orientation sessions were increased and all information shared was in a number of different
languages for clients and families. The YSS team ensured that newcomer students entering the PEI public school
system were prepared and confident to start their education in Canada.
