Supporting & Mentoring Youths
Each year, Carion Fenn Foundation will select 10 Youths who will go through our Alex Monaghan Youth Program, as a group, the team will work together through a structured 40 hour program to acquire the hours required to graduate from high school. Youths looking to give back to the community by volunteering their time to help support the community can request to work with our organization.
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month in the City of Pickering that is being observed in November, with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues in our community and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health, and of putting a face to mental illness, I wanted to share Alex’s story. As many of you know, we tragically lost my son Alex to suicide on April 1, 2018. Alex was 27. Karen O'Brien. Learn more<click here>
Our Youths take part in visiting Mayor Kevin Ashe, City of Pickering to learn about the City of Pickering, being a mayor and what it takes to operate the most progressive City in Durham Region. Our program includes a visit to Queens Park, helping to plan our projects and learning about Provincial Parliament.
