More details:

• This is a full day program that runs July 4 to August 11, 9am to 3:30pm Mondays to Thursdays.
• Part of the program is to participate in a locally-developed course called Self-Efficacy.  Students will be assigned to the Grade 10 or Grade 11 version based on their grade level.  Self-efficacy is about believing in and refining your ability to achieve something.  In the Self-Efficacy course, students will develop interpersonal and teamwork skills as they work in the SOYL food growing and marketing program.  Students will further develop their communication, self-regulation, and decision-making skills, while also engaging in goal-setting activities.  Course activities and assignments will be integrated into the daily work and tasks in the SOYL program.  Upon program completion, students will receive full credit and a final mark on their school transcript.
• Students must apply to get into this program.  Visit freshroots.ca/soyl for the application form, which opens in March 2022.  Please apply only if you are committed to the entire 6-week program and completing course assignments.
