Registration
Virtual Youth and Adult programs provide a range of opportunities for participants (13-17 yrs & 18+) to connect online. Program offerings vary from season-to-season. Some of our standard offerings over the past year include Fitness, Movie Club, Meet Ups and Dating, Relationships & Sexual Health workshops. All sessions are facilitated by CAN staff.
Using the free Zoom app (an online meeting platform), coaches will be able to connect with participants in real-time, teaching lessons in a fun, new and digital environment.
