The Get Something Started Workshop is a touring workshop that’s facilitated by high school students. It was created by high school students, too. The purpose of the workshop is to:

  • Reinforce the idea of giving back to the community;
  • Connect younger students with high school role models;
  • Help younger students come up with some community-building ideas of their own.

The ideal audience is 20-30 students at one time.

How to bring the workshop to your school…
If you’re in Grade 7 or 8, or if you’re a teacher of Grade 7 or 8 students, you can bring the workshop to your school. Just call United Way at 477-5360 and ask for the Manager of Youth Relations!
