The BYLD workshops and interactive sessions will include
- enhancing communications skills
- developing leadership abilities
- planning and facilitating programs and activities
- building effective teams
- learning the importance of inclusion and disabilities

Hands-on learning placement
Workshops are followed by an opportunity to put learning into practice through a hands-on placement in a City of Kitchener Holiday Camps or by completing a community impact project of their choice. These hands-on learning experiences provide opportunities to further develop leadership skills and integrate their learning through practice in a fun and challenging way.
Participants can receive volunteer hours for completing this program.
