Metrotown is an intensive, experiential teen diversity education program that promotes interracial, inter-religious and intercultural dialogue. Held during one week each summer, participants come together daily to take part in group exercises & activities, facilitated discussion sessions and individual reflection.

Pushing the envelope on perception vs. reality and shattering tired myths, the teen participants gain new understanding, respect and appreciation for the differences in each other. This is usually a life-changing experience for participants and leaves an impression that lasts a lifetime. Most importantly, the new perspectives gained by the teens are carried by them to their friends, families and neighbors once Metrotown is completed. In so doing, Metrotown is a revolution that is changing our community on a person-to-person basis, one person at a time.

Led and facilitated by certified counseling professionals that work in the areas of diversity, relationships, youth or aligned disciplines, the Metrotown Institute is a powerful experience that impacts all who participate.

Metrotown scholarships are available for those needing support. Contact us for more information.
