Summer 2021 Nominations OPEN!
This summer, we’re offering 8 pay-what-you-can programs for girls+ who live in Nova Scotia. Participants from New Brunswick and PEI are encouraged to apply to be placed on our waitlist, should we be able to welcome out-of-province girls+ this year. While we hope to offer these programs in-person, we’ve developed adaptable programs that can be shifted to hybrid (online + in-person component) and fully online formats if necessary due to Covid-19 regulations.
