A school "speak out" program for grade 7 and 8
Ambassadors are high school students in a school re-entry program for high-risk youth provided in partnership with several community agencies, including Toronto Public Health.
These students relate their life experiences with substance use, violence, abuse, family difficulties, etc., to youth in a peer setting. Their message encourages youth who are having difficulties to seek help rather than turning to drugs or dropping out of school.
Toronto Public Health staff can arrange for "Ambassadors" to speak to Grade 7 and 8 classes or interested schools can contact the Coordinator directly at 416-338-7945.
