take a hike
Take a Hike is an alternative education program that engages at-risk Vancouver youth through a unique combination of adventure-based learning, academics, counselling, and community involvement.
In partnership with the Vancouver School Board, the Take a Hike Youth at Risk Foundation supports 40 at-risk youth per year, ages 15-19, to make positive change in their lives. The ultimate result of the Take a Hike approach is that barriers to learning are minimized, personal issues are addressed, and students achieve a greater level of personal, academic and social success. more on the program >>
