If youth turn up and want to make something new happen, there are always friendly, fun-loving Youth Workers on hand to help spontaneously facilitate activities and offer quality advice. Should any youth need to check in on a more personal or private level, they are welcome to talk with John Stiver, the Youth Services Coordinator We have an exciting new series of talks coming in the fall as part of our Leaders in Training Program.Youth in grade 11 and 12 will have the opportunity to learn about careers and career paths from some of the fascinating people that we have on Bowen.

We look forward to working with them in the future.

Thank you to First Credit Union for their sponsorship and support of this Youth Leadership program.

Heyâ&#x20AC;Ś Youth of Bowen! Would you like the chance to have your voice heard? Would you like to learn how to help to raise funds through the grant writing process, and then decide what the funds will be used for? This is your chance to be a part of a new youth group on Bowen. Starting this fall, the Bowen Island Community Foundation, in partnership with the Bowen Youth Centre and BICS, is offering youth the opportunity to join an exciting new program. Participants will form a youth committee, which will raise funds and then decide where these funds will be directed. This is a youth-led program. There will be mentors available for advice, but it is a chance for you, the Bowen Youth, to decide on your priorities and initiate the programs and activities that you would like to see!

SALSA FOR BEGINNERS (Ages 16+) Do you desire to let your hair down when you hear Latin music? Do your hips overtake your mind and start swaying when you hear a melodic beat? Salsa is the dance for you! This easy Latin dance is a great start for anyone who wants to learn partner dancing. You will learn the basic rhythm pattern, great connection and dance communication and many fun moves in the first 4 week session. The 2nd session will move beyond the basics, upping the ante to fancier variations and extra style. All you need to do is breathe and it will be fun! No partner required.
