Dixon Youth Rise offers programs that cover: leadership, Sports, Arts self-awareness and building confidence towards the families and youth in our community. We have been supported by Delta Family Resource Centre, Kipling Colligates Institute and Rexdale Women Centre who have provided us with space to run these programs, and wants us to continue to deliver programs which engage youth and the community. The boys and the girl’s program are run every Monday evening. Some of the topics and activities we deliver to the girls were, understanding bullying, self-esteem (social media and its consequences), leadership, arts, problem solving, cooking, employment and better communications with others and families. The boys program covered sports (basketball), leadership, team-work, employment, building self-confidence, bullying (discrimination), how to understand policing, self-respect and substance abuse.
