Youth Survey: 

This survey was developed in partnership with 21 Inc. to help chart a course for future youth engagement at the Y.  The survey is to exam things from a youth's perspective of  how youth prefer to receive information and communications from the Y about the programming and services we offer, the types of programs they wish to participate in and how they wish to receive these programs whether it is afterschool, drop-in programs, leader corps or or a whole new program not yet developed.  This survey is designed for youth so as to provide us with valuable input into how the youth perceive the Y.  Whether you are a youth yourself or a parent of a youth who currently participates at the Y or is interested in programs at the Y, we hope you will complete the survey.  Thank you for participating - click on the heading above to take the survey.

21 Inc. is committed to identifying and developing New Brunswick's young leaders - whether they are emerging talents or already making a difference in our province.  Our goal is to nurture, challenge and inspire these outstanding young people so they will one day take their place among Canada's best leaders.
