Youth Achievers is a series of after school activities where children ages 6 to 12 can have a place to play, exercise and learn new skills to help them thrive and grow in mind and body. Activities and programs delivered under Youth Achievers are:

‍Robotics:
This hands-on program is inclusive and engaging for all children involved. It helps develop children’s resourcefulness, particularly their skills at goal-setting, planning, and problem-solving. The program is delivered in partnership with youth leaders and mentors from THEORY6 Robotics Team.

‍Coding:
This workshop is designed to challenge children to create their own mazes, games, and art through coding, and ultimately to inspire them to think about what cool gadgets and solutions they can build themselves. Life skills taught within this program include logical, critical and creative thinking, communication and teamwork.

‍Life Skills:
The goal here is to set up goals, plan for the future, appreciate diversity, deal with bullying, and build social networks to name a few.
