‘Explorations’ is a free after-school program being offered by BBBSFV for youth ingrades 4 & 5. This program is offered in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Maple Ridge.
The main goal of the Explorations Program is to provide a fun, safe place for young people to gather, and to learn about themselves and others. In addition, the program strives to achieve the following key objectives:
- Provide youth with the skills and support they need to cultivate personal wellness and growth
- Create a positive environment for youth to develop new friendships
- Promote healthy decision-making skills
- Guide youth in learning to strengthen self-esteem and self-awareness
The ‘Explorations’ Program is an 8-week program that runs once a week, for 2 hours, for 8 consecutive weeks. The program is a co-leadership model with 2-3 volunteer group leaders. Each session is structured around short discussion pieces that supplement the key learning objectives which are primarily accomplished through fun, interactive games, activities, and creative crafts.
