CanAssist is delighted to develop and support specialty programs designed to directly address community needs. Currently we have two specialty programs:
|
|
Just for Kicks (JFK) is a soccer program designed to give children with special needs an opportunity to learn soccer skills, work in a team environment and - most importantly - have fun! Held at UVic, the program is open to all ages and provides volunteer opportunities for students to become "soccer buddies." There are no registration fees. |

Victoria Opportunities for Community Youth Leadership (VOCYL) allows young people from diverse backgrounds and different abilities to acquire and demonstrate leadership skills while promoting community inclusion. VOCYL is a partnership between CanAssist and Community Living Victoria. Opportunities in this program include participating in community initiatives, giving presentations to local schools and planning events. |
