The Planet Health Program gives Pathways and Immigrant Services Kingston and Area (ISKA) youth the opportunity to learn about community environmental initiatives and take part in hands-on learning activities with valued community partners. This includes events like neighbourhood mapping of Rideau Heights with Little Forest Kingston, community garden work with Loving Spoonful, and hydroponic greenhouse work with Extend-A-Family. Youth learn about the importance of community relations and gain volunteer hours for each event they attend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal of this program is to empower local youth to not only create change in their communities but to build the skills necessary to face environmental challenges going forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This program typically runs biweekly on Thursdays after school and is made possible through generous donations from community sponsors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
