YFC/Youth Unlimited Fares Through Pandemic – PortageOnline.com

22 July 2020

Youth For Christ/Youth Unlimited has been working through COVID-19 providing programming for youth and had to be innovative through it all.

Executive Director Art Schroeder outlines some changes they implemented, noting they focused on outdoor activities.

“One of the things that we’ve been able to do this year is go out to Splash Island,” explains Schroeder. “We have been able to walk with the kids to the Island because we can’t take vehicles right now. This is one example of how we are striving to meet new regulations, such as transportation. We have to think, ‘How do we get kids to and from different programs?'”

He adds they’re holding skate camps at the BDO Centre as well as Dakota Tipi First Nation and Dakota Plains First Nation.

“We have partnered with some reserves to bring programming to them,” says Schroeder. “Many reserves are looking for ways to continue to provide programming for their students and children.”
