Youth graduate summer program with high school credits

August 29, 2016. Students from NorQuest College’s third annual First Nation, Métis and Inuit Summer Youth Leadership Program celebrated successful completion on Aug. 26. Thirty-six youth earned high school credits through the program. This year’s theme focused on self-esteem and leadership development where each student took part in activities such as volunteering at the food bank, learning about the uses of Indigenous medicinal plants, and physically-testing events such as team building on high ropes. Youth who participated came mainly from the Edmonton region.
