Not every student fits into the mainstream school system, but that’s where the Take a Hike Program comes in. Each week leading up to the #Modo8k we’ll meet a new student and hear more about this fantastic program.
Travis, Grade 10 Student – “For me, school itself wasn’t the problem. I fit in well and I’d like to say that I had a lot of friends at school, but circumstances at home weren’t very good. Not having the support of my parents made it hard for me to regularly make it to school. At Take a Hike, although I haven’t been here very long, it feels like I’m slowly getting back on track towards my goals. Having a clean slate is an amazing opportunity. My peers and teachers are all enthusiastic and very supportive of things that I want to do. I’m looking forward to many more exciting things that will come out of being part of this program and I hope many more lucky people can join me in this amazing experience.”
