Youth Services
CCMA acknowledges the power of young individuals to foster positive change. The association actively promotes and supports initiatives led by youth that enhance cross-cultural understanding. Our Youth Engagement and SWIS (Settlement Worker In Schools) Workers work across Charlotte County, developing diverse programming and activities to help newcomer youth develop new and existing skills, make new friends, thrive in school and feel connected to their communities.
Our Youth/SWIS department works with registered CCMA clients aged 0-30.
