Praxis is a life-skills based program that utilizes informal education practice. A balance of internal and community work projects, recreation activities and academics are incorporated to meet youth "where they're at."

Praxis is an environment of structured and unstructured activity, using teachable moments to support the development of life skills.

By supporting successes and assets, the goal of Praxis is to build social competency, self-efficacy and positive relationships.

Through a process of connecting plan with action, Praxis meets youth "where they're at" and supports them "where they want to go."

Participation in the Praxis Project will equip youth with fundamental employment, education and life skills. Praxis is a place for youth to embark upon their voyage to more positive, healthy and independent lives.

Youth accepted into this program are between 13-18 years of age. Referrals are placed by either a youth's Social Worker or Probation Officer with legal guardian consent.
