Experiences Canada is excited to announce our new partnership with Scouts Canada, the country’s leading co-ed youth organization offering programming for children and youth aged 5-26 from coast to coast. As a leader in providing life-changing educational youth experiences, Experiences Canada is eager to see Scouts participate in our transformative Youth Exchange program.
“Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as we partner with Scouts Canada to empower young leaders across the country. Together, we share a deep commitment to fostering youth development and through this partnership, Scouts have the opportunity to participate in Youth Exchanges that support their personal and social development. These Exchanges will provide experiential learning that strengthens young Canadians’ understanding of our country’s diversity of languages, histories, cultures, and communities.”
– Darren Prashad, Senior Manager of Youth Exchanges and Partnerships
For 87 years, Experiences Canada has been offering youth opportunities to explore Canada in ways they never imagined. Youth Exchanges offer life-changing experiences: enabling young Canadians to build personal skills and self-confidence; form new friendships; deepen their knowledge of a second language, of other histories and cultures, and inspire them to become more actively engaged in their communities.
For over 100 years, Scouts Canada have helped kids connect with nature, make lifelong friends and learn valuable life skills. In addition to outdoor adventure, Scouts contribute to communities across the country as active citizens creating positive change.
As part of this exciting partnership, Scouting sections now benefit from exchanges either between Scout sections or between a Scout section and an Indigenous group. We look forward to providing Scouts a more affordable opportunity to travel and connect with youth across Canada during their Youth Exchanges!
