Covenant House Vancouver

I haven't posted any youth artwork or photography in a while (sorry!) but here a few to tide you over until I round up some more.  Our youth participation strategy and life skills training includes art/photography along with recreational outings (yoga on Friday afternoons at YYOGA), and cultural & sporting events (we are blessed to receive donated tickets to plays, opera, hockey games etc.)

Many of our youth were not exposed to the arts when they were growing up and it is very endearing when you see them get ready for a night at the Vancouver Opera.  The evening usually begins with a trip to our clothing room to choose appropriate attire and there is excitement in the air as everyone gets ready for a "fancy" night out.  Our recreational volunteers and/or staff accompany the youth and encourage them to write thank you letters to the donors responsibile for the tickets.

Enjoy the photos below; comments, as always, are encouraged.
