All in for Youth
Our All In For Youth Success Coach at Joane Cardinal-Schubert plays a vital role in assisting students by identifying, addressing, and helping to reduce barriers to completing their education. They ensure that students have access to essential resources, cater to academic requirements, and facilitate connections to additional resources within the community. Furthermore, Success Coaches aid students in accessing post-secondary education and employment resources, as well as funding opportunities. Attached below is a copy of the AIFY handbook which outlines the role of Mr. Roberts in our school. Should any family or student require assistance, we encourage them to contact our Success Coach @ idroberts@cbe.ab.ca
