Youth Connections Team Leader works collaboratively with the Family Support team to plan meaningful and engaging summer programming for Youth with Developmental Disabilities. Accessing community-based activities and opportunities helps Youth with Developmental Disabilities build positive relationships, enhances their level of integration and improves their sense of belonging.
Working one-on-one or with small groups, the Team Leader will directly support Youth as they participate in a variety of recreation and skill-building opportunities; such as volunteering at a cat shelter, visiting the Bruce County Museum, walking the trails, learning to cook, mini-golfing with friends and taking part in summer festivals and events. The Youth Connections Team Leader will use a person-centred approach to understand the unique interests and goals of each participant and select activities that align with their personal skills, capabilities and support needs.
If you believe that individuals of all abilities belong and should have an equal opportunity to participate in the community, CLKD is a place where you can work to inspire possibilities for all of the individuals we support!
