Through leadership development experiences, activity sessions and roundtable discussions students will identify how they can lead within their classrooms, school, and communities. Students returning to OELC have the option to enroll in the Youth Facilitator (YF) in Training stream of Secondary Athletics and potentially become a YF for our intermediate courses. This year we have an exchange group from NZ and Australia joining us for week 2!

·         Secondary School Leadership (Oct. 10-12 or Oct. 15-17) Individual representatives or multiple council members are invited to attend SSL to ignite community, inclusion and belonging within their school! Leaders will be inspired to discover their voice as “partners in education” and develop a student-initiated action plan to implement upon return to their schools. Participants may come from student unity, athletics or arts councils, clubs/committees, Link Crew, transition teams or social justice/advocacy groups and more! SHSM students, ask Ms Vieira how this content could check off a leadership skills and/or communication certificate.
