COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
In 2020, the program was funded by the EMCS Society, Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, the Rotary Club of Sooke, Excellence in Literacy Foundation, Decoda Literacy Solutions – Sooke Region Literacy Task Group, School District No. 62 (Sooke), Sooke Harbourside Lions, HRSDC (Canada Youth Summer Jobs), and The Edith Lando Charitable Foundation. These funders made it possible to offer the camp to families at no charge.
Each summer the EMCS Society hires a Summer Youth Engagement Coordinator to facilitate for youth by youth events, grassroots community action, and aid in regional decision-making. The objective of Youth For Sooke is to initiate and organize new events and initiatives for youth in our region.
Sarah Richer is the Literacy Outreach Coordinator for the Sooke Region. See here for more information about her exciting projects such as Books for Breakfast and the Book Bin program, or send her an email.
