Youth Programs

Having a safe place to be where youth are exposed to new opportunities and positive adult role models is very important in the healthy development of youth. Programming is participant driven and based on our Vision and Mission, Core Values, and Model for Success.   

In the morning, youth are attending a High School credit class and then attending our programming which includes life skills, wellness, physical activity, employability skill development, cultural activities, homework help etc. The programming is flexible to meet the needs of the youth attending. Youth attending our “class”/program time earn an elective High School credit through Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools.  

Through hands-on learning opportunities, a specific focus on personal interests, goals, and supportive relationships with mentors and volunteers, young people are given the skills and tools they need to be successful in school, work, and life.

For registration information, please contact the program directly.

Youth apply for a position with the “Clean Up Crew”, go through the interview process and then successful candidates attend training and work the week of the Saskatoon EX. BGCS runs this program in partnership with Prairieland Park. Clean Up Crew members are paid minimum wage and commit to working the entire week of the Saskatoon Ex.

For most of our youth, this is their first job experience. It’s an opportunity for them to work in a well supervised, supportive environment where they will experience in what is expected of them in a job setting.

At the Saskatoon EX, the youth clean the pedestrian walkways, parking lots and the grandstand at the park during the week of the Exhibition. BGC Saskatoon has a partnership with the Saskatoon Prairieland Park Corporation to do the job. We hire approximately 60 youth every summer.
