The Sociables: Young Adults

The Sociables is a once-a-month social group for young adults aged 18-26 where friendship building skills are incorporated into typical and age-appropriate activities.  CAN staff, volunteers and peer mentors interact with the participants and model positive social behaviours.  The goal of the Sociables is not to be the social life of our participants, instead it helps participants begin to develop their own social life outside of structured programs.
