This program is mainly for providing our youth with a safe and comfortable space for them to work on homework, classwork, and anything pertaining to schooling and education. We also help participants with cover letter and resume work.
This program is based on the same safe driving training principles UPS drivers have to go through when hired. Road code focuses on different safety principles as well as the consequences of risky behaviours. The facilitators are equipped with computer driving simulators to take a hands on approach for our youths safe driving knowledge.
