YNRA PROGRAMS OVERVIEW
Pens and Paint (Virtual & In-Person)
ART, EXPRESSION, DISCOVERY
This art-based program focuses on coping with stress through visual arts and creative writing. Art is a form of creative expression, and we can help you do it by learning artistic skills such as canvassing, pottery making and even slam poetry.
Winter Wellness
LEARN, BE WITH WINTER, CONNECT
Winter Wellness is a program that runs in the winter months. With Winter Wellness, you can learn how physical activity, through being outdoors during winter, can help cope with stress. We run a variety of winter based activities and all transportation, lift tickets, equipment, rentals and lessons are included and absolutely free to participants.
Rooted
OUTDOORS, GROWING, BONDING
This summer program is an opportunity for youth to come together and connect with one another while exploring nature, gardening, mindfulness and more! As a group we will collaboratively grow a garden, develop coping skills to support our mental well-being, and reconnect with our natural world in sustainable ways.
This year’s Rooted program is offered in partnership with our friends at Root in Nature, a social enterprise that brings the healing powers of nature and plants to the community through nature-based programs!
2022 program supported by Ottawa Community Foundation.
Mindfulness
DISCOVER, RECHARGE, BREATHE
The power of yoga and meditation is a healthy coping method. This program encourages you to discover yourself, and allows you to recharge through mindfulness and discussion with peers. Most of all, it teaches you the key aspect of mental health maintenance which is self care – to take a while just to breathe. This program is for youth 15 and older.
