Hello and welcome to the March Opportunities section.

Youth Leaders in Training

Are you looking to work as a Camp Counsellor? Do you want to gain leadership skills and build your resume? Come and get trained to be ready to apply for a camp position at the City of Markham! The program is open to youth ages 16-24 at NO COST! However, there is a priority for permanent residents and convention refugees.

The program consists of 32 hours of training and 8 hours of placement, and you will gain precious skills and experiences for a camp position at City of Markham upon completion of the program. You will learn standard first aid and CPR Level C requirements, the HIGH FIVE Healthy Child Development Certification, as well as program planning and how to supervise a group of 6-10 campers.

The dates and location of the training program are April 15th, 16th, 22nd and 23rd from 9am to 5pm, at Welcome Centre, Markham South.
