BRANDON STREET PROGRAMS

Brandon Street CDF seeks to mentor youth to strive for excellence.

We are driven by the belief that any young person who has the desire can be coached to develop his or her talent and skills - academic, artistic or otherwise - to their fullest potential.

National Junior Golf Academy

This program is designed to break down economic barriers and to use the rules governing the game of golf to teach youth life-skills.

NJGA is a successful community investment in pro-active subsidized recreation providing these youth with the opportunity to develop social, economic and life-skills.

NJGA works closely with area families, social workers, agencies and community centres in order to target At-Risk children and youth that would benefit from our skill-training program. www.njga.ca
