2010 - ANNUAL CHILD WITNESS CENTRE YOUTH SYMPOSIUM
We were excited to host 2,000 grade 8 students at our 2009 youth symposium last April, but very much regretted having to turn 1,000 students away -- we were overbooked.
To avoid that in 2010, we added a second symposium in Guelph.
Wednesday April 21st, 2010
For Wellington County Students
Galaxy Cinemas
485 Woodlawn Road W, Guelph
Time: 9:00 am - 2:00 pm |
Thursday April 22nd, 2010
For Waterloo Region Students
Empire Theatres
135 Gateway Park Drive, Kitchener
Time: 9:00 am - 2:00 pm |
The goal of the Symposium is to equip students with ideas, tools, motivation and confidence to cope effectively with their daily challenges, make better choices in their life, and to grow to become better citizens in our community.
We had a great line-up of speakers for 2010. To view the program, click here. For a full breakdown of the days event, click on the schedule for Waterloo Region and Wellington County.
The event is made possible through the very generous financial support of the Sertoma and La Sertoma service clubs in Kitchener-Waterloo, Co-operators Insurance in Guelph, and the Rotary Club of Guelph-Trillium who share our vision of the value of such an event for the youth in our community. We fund this event separately...we don't use donations that come to us otherwise to support our child witness program.
We are still looking for future sponsors for the Wellington County Youth Symposium. Please contact Linda Mark at (519) 744-0904 or linda.mark@childwitness.com if you are interested in sponsoring the Wellington symposium.
