Join us for a free driving lesson with Curtis from TipTop Driving School. Participants will have an opportunity to partake in a 90-120 minute theory-based lesson and then will have a chance to drive the lesson car. Huge thank you to the Columbia Power Co. for their sponsorship of this important program.

*All programming through the youth centre is generally intended for those between the ages of 12-18, and while it is not necessary that the participants have a license (of course this means they will not be able to drive, however, they can still participate in the theory portion) – we ask that youth who register are either in the process of getting their Learners License or already have it.

To register, please contact me at coordinator@nays.ca. Thank you!

Calling all young writers! Starting in June, and through a partnership with both the Arrow Lakes District Arts Council Society as well as the Nakusp Public Library, we will be introducing a 4 session writing program where we will be bringing in real, published authors and writers to lead the youth through different writing styles, techniques and genres. This will be happening June 10th and 24th from 6:15-7:15pm, and will continue on July 8th and 22nd from 2-3 pm.

*Our programs are designed and intended for youth between the ages of 12-18. This program is a drop-in program, and registration is not necessary.

Hello Youth of Nakusp! Have you ever wondered how a dirtbike functions? How to fix or take one apart?

For any questions, concerns, or to register please contact us at coordinator@nays.ca.

We’ve put together a survey and would love to hear from our youth on what they’d like to see at the centre in the future, as well as what’s worked well in the past. If you are a youth aged 12-18 in the Nakusp area, please take a few minutes to fill out our survey (or parents/guardians feel free to share with your child). Can’t wait to hear from you!
