We are committed to creating safe spaces for racialized youth to provide them with tangible personal and professional tools to positively support their development into young adulthood. Rexdale Youth Mentorship (RXYM) AUGUST 29, 2019 The Queensplate community has been a hub for recreational programming for many years and its community centre has been able to foster many great individuals throughout the years as well. However, there is a need within the community to have youth flourish, not only through recreational programming but through a program that will assist in the development of youth professional skills and social awareness. RXYM is a grass-roots organization led by five qualified mentors from the Queens Plate Community who work to provide social and professional resources for youth within the Rexdale area. This 25 week program consists of one-on-one mentorship, interactive workshops, book club, homework club as well as community events. The objective of our services is to highlight and addresses systemic barriers affecting racialized youth, with the goal of empowering them to reach their full potential. Here at RXYM we aim to increase the leadership and teamwork abilities of youth; we aim to increase youth professional skills and provide access to employment opportunities and finally, we aim to increase self-awareness and confidence in our youth. - Rexdale Youth Mentorship Team
