 This hands-on mentored placement program is perfect for youth who are interested in working with community, becoming a summer camp leader, teacher, lifeguard, fitness instructor, police officer, first responder and so much more. Students must be completing grade 8 in June of 2025 or older to be eligible to apply. This program is a two-year process in which youth are placed with a mentor to help them gain leadership skills to put towards future employment or post-secondary education. Youth are guided to become confident, self-aware, and empathetic leaders with a growth mindset all while having a blast in a summer camp or aquatic setting. New this year, we have added a partnership with the Saanich Police Department. Youth will have the chance to be a police officer for the day and see exactly what it entails. This option is great for youth who want to one day be a first responder.
In the last four years, this highly regarded program has mentored over 200 youth and helped them gain experience for employment and post-secondary education in a variety of fields. Many youth who have completed this program now work for The District of Saanich as program assistants and program leaders.
