RMYC's Priorities & Workplan
The RMYC engages young people and challenges them to be part of the solution to problems affecting them. The Council has hosted youth conferences, organized focus groups, promoted peer mediation to resolve conflict, conducted surveys, and done interviews on issues that include racism, the environment, poverty, mental health, creating safer communities, recreation and so forth. Youths are encouraged to offer constructive ideas to tackle issues that affect them. To date, the Council has compiled information and produced resource materials to improve police/youth relations, make schools safer, improve security in local neighbourhoods, enhance safety at bus terminals. Studies have also been done on school uniforms, bullying, youth street gangs, race relations, curfews, and shared with appropriate authorities.

The Council does its homework and comes up with recommendations to urge all levels of governments to develop policies to address issues such as poverty, mental health and global warming, put in place prevention programs to deal with addictions, provide funding for structured after-school activities, support lifeskills training and job experience programs for youth, and fund drop-in centers as safe places for kids to hang out and grow together.
The center also co-ordinates youth leadership and organizational development sessions, runs stay-in-school activities, and hosts social functions, workshops, summer camps, sports, games, entertainment and youth entrepreneurship training. These initiatives have attracted Lieutenant Governors Hillary Weston, James Bartleman, Govenor General Adrienne Clarkson, and various Cabinet Ministers to visit the Youth Centre.

The RMYC works closely with The Vale/Limbrick Community Action Group. At the end of every month we get together at Vale and facilitate a community event like the halloween dance, the christmas party, a fashion show etc. We are committed to doing our part to improve the quality of life for the residents at Limbrick. |
