Commitments from Youth Club members and parents
We are delighted when children enroll into the Youth Club. There are many things the youth can learn such as leadership, planning, public speaking and more.However, with that said, there is also a substantial amount of commitment that is required by children and their parents. The child may be involved with other extracurricular activities or sports that may take time and commitment therefore we want to ensure they don’t overcommit to something & are able to give the IRCC Youth Club the priority as required throughout the year.
