Our out of school time programs are run by trained David Thompson high school leaders in grades 8-12. Since 2004 the Community Schools have played an important role in the Vancouver Board of Education to meet the needs of neighbourhoods by providing after school programs and services to children and their families. One of the roles of the Community School Team (CST) is to coordinate, supervise and train David Thompson high school students to plan and facilitate after school recreation programs in our partner elementary schools and to develop community partnerships providing further opportunities for youth to get involved in neighborhood ‘community building’ initiatives out of school time. Interesting Facts:
- In 2005, the DTCST started with only 20 leaders.
- Six years later, the DTCST ended the 2011-2012 school year with a grand total of 140 leaders! Meet the Team:
