About Youthline
The Youthline Outreach Mentorship Program has been a cornerstone of the MPRB’s youth and teen programs since it began in 1991. Today 12 parks have dedicated Youthline staff who host year-round activities that focus on leadership, health and wellness, life skills, and outdoor adventures.
The Youthline Summer Adventure Series stems from an effort to improve inter-city collaboration between all Youthline sites and build friendships and ties between teens across the city.
There 11 activities planned over summer. Some are one-time events offered out of every Youthline site; some are offered out of select sites several times over the summer.
