What Comes Next: 10 Years with Power To Be

As I look back at my 10 years with Power To Be – as a participant, then volunteer, and now practicum student – I never would have known how inspirational Power To Be would become in my life journey. After graduating from Wilderness School at Power To Be in 2016, I pursued paramedic school and firefighter training, and am now entering my final year of my Bachelor of Social Work program. None of this would have been possible without the leadership practice and skill development I learned at Power To Be.

Giving Back on Giving Tuesday

This year, to get into the holiday spirit, Power To Be staff put a new spin on “Giving Tuesday” and participated in our very own “Give Back Tuesday”, which was a chance to partner with local non-profits and provide volunteer support. In Vancouver, our team partnered up with our friends from Backpack Buddies, while on the Victoria side, our staff team partnered with Soap For Hope Canada.

Inclusion at Power To Be: The Whatever Program

Our goal with Power To Be is to create that space for our participants, where they feel safe, can be their authentic self, and they feel nurtured and appreciated, going beyond just being accepted and supported. West Van Youth staff and Power To Be collaborated to design and create a unique program that met the needs of the youth, while emphasizing themes of inclusion and empowerment so youth would feel more comfortable accessing outdoor spaces.

Igniting Imagination: Power To Be’s Play Forest

One of the most wonderful things about spending time in nature is the sense of imagination it evokes. We are so fortune at Power To Be to have access to wilderness at our Prospect Lake site. A particularly special spot at the site is our Play Forest. This area offers an invitation to simply play, unstructured and exploratory, and encourages curiosity and discovery.

Rewilding Prospect Lake

In the relatively short time Power To Be has called Prospect Lake home, the natural space it encompasses has changed dramatically. This patch of wilderness has helped us access the outdoors while we learn and connect with each other. These experiences help us to grow, and as we do, the site grows and changes too.
