Youth Action Teams

Aim for Success has Youth Action Teams (YAT) in all the Wild Rose School Division's elementary and junior high schools within Drayton Valley. These teams of between 10-30 volunteer students come together on a weekly basis to help to make positive cultural changes and become ambassadors of support within their schools.

Mental Health Promotion - Through on-going training, support and mentorship by the Aim for Success team, the YAT teams promote positive mental health and wellness to their student body and play a lead role arranging presentations and activities during mental health week
Anti-Bullying - Each Youth action team works diligently to help to promote and build safe and caring schools. YAT teams do this by presentations, programs and play a strong and active role during anti-bullying week and pink shirt day
Mentorship - Each youth action team member is provided with mentoring training and support and throughout the year will play a lead role in being mentors both within their school and by supporting students from other local schools. Youth action team members annually play a key role in supporting grade 6 students as they transition to the junior high, through one on one and group mentorship

Youth Action Team

The Youth Action Team reaches out into their schools and into our community to make a difference. Whether it's braving the cold during the community Christmas parade, writing positive chalk messages during Let's Chalk About it, or presenting to their peers during school assemblies or health fairs, they aim to promote mental health and wellness to all.
