Project Renaissance (Châteauguay)
Project Renaissance – Giving Youth Skills for a Future
In 2008, Chateauguay Youth Unlimited’s newest endeavor has been launched! Project Renaissance (in collaboration with World Vision & Education Plus) is an initiative to break the cycle of child poverty in our region… Through preventative work, hands-on training, mentoring relationships, and our very own accredited Alternative school, we are helping those who have seemingly slipped through the cracks, realize their dreams for the future. Though very young, Project Renaissance is already making a difference!
School Involvement
Our staff are reaching into the High Schools and Elementary Schools, into the lives of students in many varied and creative ways:
Lunch Hour Discussions encourage students to share their opinions, and hear what their peers have to say on youth related issues. Each discussion is concluded with practical and biblical information from the staff.
Student Evangelism – Christian students are mobilized to pray, and are equipped and encouraged to share their faith. They work together with our staff in planning and running outreach events in their schools.
Helping kids with special emotional needs – working with them on projects to help them raise their level of self esteem.
Outdoor Phys. Ed. program – Helping the phys. ed. teacher run a day-long monthly outdoor program for grade 5 and 6 classes (hiking, kayaking, map and compass work, snowshoeing, biking, etc.).
Campus Life – Relationship building with about 20 students through games and crafts, coupled with a short devotional.
Individual time – our staff spend one-on-one time with kids, getting to know them, addressing their concerns and sharing Christ with them.
