A Message from the Founder

2010/11 has been a year of growth and innovation for Partners for Youth. For the fifth consecutive year we have experienced enormous progress. Our continued expansion into new communities in the province has provided more children and youth with the opportunity for success. Our positive and stable financial position has provided us with the means to support and encourage more youth at risk to reach their full potential.

The patrons, honorary directors, members of the board, and advisory members have continued to support and move the organization in positive directions. We are blessed with the exceptional leadership of our CEO, John Sharpe, and greatly appreciate all of the wonderful work being accomplished by John and the dedicated Partners for Youth staff team. Thank you all so very much. The development of new initiatives, the continued implementation of our foundation programs and new financial partnerships have been significant in our growth.

When Partners for Youth was founded almost 18 years ago, one of our visions at the time was the establishment of a working farm for at risk youth. This concept, while by no means modest in size or cost, has always remained very important to me personally. The potential benefits of such a site have been documented and promoted in other jurisdictions for years. At long last, with the support of a number of other groups and the provincial government, we have begun to turn this dream into reality. As we move into our third decade of opera-tion the results of this project, combined with our other innovative initiatives, will propel us to provide more opportunities and a positive future for many more youth at risk across the province.

My sincere thanks to our supporters for your continued investments in our work and I look forward to our ongoing partnership for youth.

Sincerely,

Hon. James Ross, Founder and Chairman Emeritus

Youth Engagement Summit / Sommet d'engagement de la jeunesse

YES_Logo_Slim Partners For Youth would like to thank everyone who came to the Youth Engagement Summit and made it such a huge success! We truly feel that we were a part of something great, and that's all because of the amazing participants that took the time to meet up and be a part of the weekend's events.

Although it is done, youth engagement is never over. To begin with, we really want to hear from all those who participated over the weekend. We want your comments and your suggestions, so we've developed a survey that we hope to use to inform our future youth engagement activities. The survey can be found here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dDl4WWNRWVdMUWYwRFc0Zm1QNmtHX0E6MQ#gid=0

Please check our website periodically for more specific YES information -- including reports, pictures and video -- as they become available publically. Until then, see below for our first batch of pictures.

Partners For Youth aimerait remercier ceux et celles qui ont fait en sorte que Sommet d'engagement de la jeunesse soit un grand succès! Nous nous sentons vraiment comme si nous avons fait partie de quelque chose de merveilleux et ce n'aurait pas été possible sans les centaines de participant(e)s qui ont pris le temps de venir à Fredericton pour participer à cet événement.

Le sommet est fini, mais l'engagement jeunesse ne finira jamais. Pour commencer, nous aimerions vraiment entendre parler de tous ceux et celles qui ont participés en fin de semaine. Nous voulons vos commentaires et vos suggestions, alors nous avons cré un sondage que nous espérons utiliser pour informer nos activités à venir pour ce qu'est de l'engagement jeunesse. Vous pouvez accéder au sondage en cliquant sur:
