What started as a dream to create a space for youth to have fun and learn important life skills during the school holiday has grown into the most anticipated week of the year for students at the Amos Youth Centre (AYC): the Annual Leadership and Life Skills Camp!

As the Read for Rose Special Education Program marks its 6th anniversary, it celebrates not just its longevity but the transformative impact it has had on its 37 students. Two standout initiatives—the Community Gardening Project and the Doormat Knitting Project—have become pillars of empowerment, equipping students with life skills, fostering independence, and creating opportunities for sustainable livelihoods.
