Program description:
The Cyber Café is an afterschool program offered every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. that provides Aboriginal youth with:

• tutors for homework support and mentoring
• free internet access
• fun physical activities (such as hip hop, lacrosse and bowling)
• Cultural learning and support (craft workshops, Elder teachings, talking circles etc.)

The services offered by the program are delivered in a way that establishes a working relationship with the youth that encourages trust, respect and honour in a traditional setting. The Medicine Wheel is used as a way to deliver a balanced work plan.
