It is our experience that when young people discover and work to accept who they truly are, they are able to develop a greater sense of confidence and purpose in life. Ignite is designed to respond to the specific needs of teenage participants in the program. Workshops provide opportunities for participation in interactive youth-led discussions and activities that encompass the kind of issues that all young people face.Cost$99.00 Financial support: We have subsided places available.
