Community Engagements

1 Resource offers customized youth services and programs that create positive social change and continuous quality improvement for ACB youth. 

4 Years - 18 Years 

The 1 Resource Back-to-School Knapsack Drive aim is to ensure that our students (predominantly elementary and middle school attendees) will begin the school year with some of the same tools and supplies as their more fortunate peers.  

1 Years-13 Years 

    The 1 Resource Christmas Giving Program is a celebratory affair aimed at       Newcomers to Canada from countries such as (Kenya, Congo, Sudan, Uganda, Haiti, Rwandan and Caribbean Islands). This activity is set in a party-style atmosphere where children are able to meet other children (who deal with similar situations), meet Santa and local representatives to celebrate a Christmas in Canada for the first time.   supporting organizations (Ottawa Police, Toy Mountain, Caring & Sharing), receive gifts and toys, eat party foods and play games.

We partner with the young person in the creation and delivery of our youth-engagement toolkits to ensure that the setting of goals, identification of positive social norms, and enhancement of their skill sets (social, employment and life-skills) will develop and transpire their individual temperaments into custom-made dynamic and meaningful opportunities.
