Who Our Programs are For

Our Youth Programs are for youth ages 15–21 with suspected or diagnosed learning and brain-based differences such as dyselxia, ADHD, and autism. Our programs provide individualized, one-to-one support and small group learning to build learning, executive functioning, and workplace skills, strengthen confidence and self-advocacy, and prepare for education, employment, or trades pathways.

If you can answer “yes” to any of the questions below, then we can support you and a youth you care about.

  • Are they motivated and capable, but struggling to show what they know due to learning differences at school, work, or while planning next steps?
  • Would they benefit from individualized, one-to-one specialized instruction tailored to their learning style?
  • Do they need support in building confidence, independence, and self-advocacy skills as they move toward adulthood?
  • Do they get stuck with organization, time management, communication, or problem-solving, despite having clear strengths and interests?
  • Are they looking to build foundational workplace skills through a structured program?
  • Are they interested in exploring or preparing for a trades pathway with targeted support through this transition?

Scholarships

All of our programs are offered at a sliding scale based on household income. Learn more about pricing on the specific page for each program.

In 2026 we are please to introduce two new Skilled Trades Scholarships designed to support youth with learning differences who are well-suited to trades careers but face barriers accessing and completing post-secondary training. The two scholarships are the Bright Futures Skilled Trades Scholarship and the Stewart McCuaig Memorial Scholarship.

These scholarships are not just about funding tuition. They are designed to ensure learners can successfully navigate every stage of the pathway—from high school planning to certification and meaningful employment.
