Summer is a time when we get to create opportunities for youth to work in our community. In turn, they bring much needed talent, support, and fresh perspective to our programs and services.

Thanks to our talented team of summer staff, our schedule has been jam-packed with community events, field trips, programs and more. Our amazing group of youth brought fresh energy and new ideas to a wide range of tasks, jumping in wherever help was needed, from designing flyers and posts to collaborating on research projects to pitching in at our big event of the season, Summer Splash. Every day, they created warm and welcoming spaces for our newcomer community members.

Rowan, who supported our Youth program, shared "I have had an amazing time working at Access Alliance this summer! Everyone here is very kind and cares deeply about the people we serve."

We've had an amazing time working with you too, Rowan. And with Tsion, Rae, Vida, Tahiya, Devika, Jean-Paul, Wisdom, Nicole, Francheska, Sara, Fahima, and Ben. Thank you all for your hard work!

We made another splash — this time in the rainy east! 💦
When the clouds rolled in on Tuesday, we moved Summer Splash indoors. Our community members showed up with sunny smiles, ready for a day full of fun, culture, and connection for all ages.
From face painting and henna art to Zumba, live music, and a lively photo booth, there was something for everyone! Our seniors enjoyed their own activity tables, our youth had dove into games, and neighbours stopped by outreach tables to connect with staff and learn about our services and other resources. Plus, some lucky winners took home great raffle prizes! 🎁
💚 A big shoutout to our volunteers, staff, partners, and community members, whose positive energy made the day unforgettable!
