Helping Youth Get More Engaged
Helping Youth Get More Engaged
Young people are our hope for the future. Find out about our many innovative programs dedicated to engaging your children and teenagers. We believe in actively involving young newcomers in their new community with schoolwork assistance programs, social networking, sports and different youth-oriented cultural events.
We plan and host a number of unique events throughout the year to strengthen our own working community. Most of our events are open to everyone in Saskatoon — the more the merrier! Admission to these events is always free.
Some of our most exciting events include:
Global Beats: a multicultural music festival
Beat & Eats: YXE’s newcomer youth’s spoken word poetry, electronic music and hip hop dancing
International Bazaar: crafts and marketplace
