Growing Leaders
This program serves as an opportunity for teens to hone their leadership skills and gain volunteer experience by becoming mentors to the children in our Summer Break Program. For two weeks they accompany our team and our children. They help prepare and give out snack, lead games, act as mentors, and support our participants when needed. At the end of summer programming, Growing Leaders are awarded volunteer hours and given a reference letter.
Grade 7 Prep
This program is for Grade 6 children currently registered in our C.O.L.S program. The focus of the program is to assist children in the often difficult transition from elementary to junior high. This program takes place on Mondays from 6:00-7:30pm at our AYP office. This program does not begin until April.
Junior High
This program takes place at our AYP office on Thursday evenings from 5:00-7:00pm. Junior High aims to support youth in junior high to build relationships with peers and staff through a variety of recreational and art based activities in a safe and secure environment where they are encouraged to make healthy lifestyle choices, and maintain relationships with peers and Child Development Coordinators.

The AYP Community Library!
Located at Hairsine Community League now! (3120 139 Ave NW)
Our High School Leadership participants partnered with PCL Construction this summer to build this wonderful community library. They each painted a piece of wood which was placed on the side. If you have some spare time, go take a look at it! Take some of your old books to put in there for other kids who find the library. Take a book; leave a book at the AYP Community Library!
Covid Restriction updates
AYP is currently running in-person programming! We are running our programs out of the AYP Office and Community Leagues in the area! We are masked and distanced and having the best time!

Relationships
We take the time to get to know each other, include everyone, value differences, and respect personal boundaries
Creativity
We value creativity in the activities we do, how we solve problems, and through engaging with free play and art time.
Playfulness
We believe it is so important to have fun (for kids and adults alike!). At AYP, we show good sportsmanship and participate in all sorts of games and activities.
Empowerment
We believe it is important to empower others, as well as ourselves. We empower each other through our words and our actions.
