For self-identified girls and gender-diverse youth

Applications Open

Applications are now open for our Neurodivergent Empowerment Group, for self-identified girls and gender-diverse youth in Grades 6-7 who are neurodivergent or curious about learning more— no diagnosis required.

 

The group will run once per week for 10 weeks, from mid-February to mid-May at the North Shore Women’s Centre. 

 

This free, educational, social, and fun community-based program is a chance to make friends, learn new things, and connect with a community that values you just as you are! Whether participants have ADHD, autism, OCD, or other neurodivergent traits, this program offers a warm and inclusive environment.

 

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, with limited spots available. So, register or inquire today!

What is The Neurodivergent Empowerment Program?

With the support of the Canadian Women’s Foundation and its partners, the NSWC has embarked on a year-long research project to empower neurodivergent girls and gender-diverse youth on the North Shore.

 

We are excited to launch our pilot program in February, informed by extensive research and consultation conducted with community organizations, advocates, schools, and neurodivergent youth and their guardians on the North Shore and beyond.

 

During the 10-week program, participants will explore topics related to neurodiversity, relationships, and wellness through group discussion, fun activities, and self-reflection. With a focus on celebrating unique strengths, building connections, and providing tools for navigating life’s challenges, this program aims to inspire participants to embrace their authentic selves. 

This program has been supported with a grant from the Canadian Women's Foundation and its partners.
