1. Do you remember what led you to join SCHC’s Youth programs?  And approximately how long ago was that?

Yes! I was told by a friend that I should join about a year ago.

2. What are your favourite programs/activities with the group?

I love having group discussions and planning with everyone. We get to organize so many things for the community, and it’s a very rewarding process.

3. How do you feel these programs have impacted your life, especially as a youth in Scarborough?  Have you had challenges over the years that these programs helped you get over in some way?

The people at the Hub are really caring and the type you can turn to when in need. I am more excited to come to the Hub every day because each day is different from the last, and I learn so much from everyone around me. There are several youth programs in Scarborough, but none are as fun and unique as the Hub.

4. Any special memories you would like to share?

I distinctly remember when we stayed late in the kitchen to prep for Hubfest. Although it’s an extremely awesome time, it’s very tiring work. I think what made this memory special was that I was with my friends, and even though we were tired, we pulled through. I also really loved the trips we went on during the summer.

5. Any words you would like to share with potential donors/bidders at our fundraising event?

Thank you so much for everything. Your contributions have helped immensely with programs and events and, more importantly, giving people a sense of home and comfort. The Hub will never forget this amazing opportunity we have had, and we hope to see you at future events.
