Bracebridge Recreation is proud to offer subsidized leadership opportunities to youth in the community ages 13 to 29 who demonstrate a commitment to personal development and community service.
The Youth Recreation Leadership Grant provides youth with the opportunity to gain valuable experience and learning opportunities while preparing them for their future careers. Successful participants will not only receive the certification and experience necessary to prepare them for a career in recreation, but also prepare them to make a positive impact on the community, including:
- Improving aquatic safety in Town of Bracebridge facilities and programs;
- Supporting the community in their journey to live healthy lifestyles by engaging in physical fitness classes and individualized fitness instruction; and
- Improving aquatic safety education and swim instruction, including more qualified Lifesavers and Swim Instructors to teach children and youth these invaluable life skills
