What is the Northeast Teen Program?
E4C’s Northeast Community Program is an after-school program working with children to help them gain skills, make friends and have fun.
Formerly known as the Northeast Teen Drop-in Centre, the program has been running youth-based programming since 1991 reaching at-risk children and youth and to provide them with social supports and preventative programming.
The Northeast Community Program is a program of E4C, a charitable organization in Edmonton committed to changing lives and growing stronger communities.
Goals of the Program:
Let children participate group discussions and role-modeling while learning about the importance of respect.
Engage children with skill-based activities that teach important social skills.
Equip children with the information that will help them make healthy choices.
Provide a space where children feel free from judgment and are supported.
Further enhance existing school curriculum with life-skills development.
Help participants learn the value of working as a team and the importance of friendships.
E4C believes that all children deserve the chance to explore, learn and develop through play.

It has helped increase their knowledge on issues surrounding bullying, stress management, positive conflict resolution, self-esteem, nutrition, home safety, addictions and abuse.
The Northeast Community Program has been working in Bannerman Elementary School in northeast Edmonton with children aged 8 to 13 and is now looking to expand into more schools.
The program is focusing on schools in underserved, resource-poor communities in the Northeast area of Edmonton.
