Chaya Hecht
Hi my name is Mushkie, I have been raised and lived in northern Ontario. I have always wanted to be involved in the community and help those that were less fortunate. I find it so meaningful to give back. In my project I want to help our youth find the meaning in giving as well.
Self Empowered Teens
“Self Empowered Teens” is a program designed to help teens who are struggling, finally feel self empowered. The idea is that, through projects and programs that involve giving back to the community; teens discover their potential. Our goal is that every teenager should feel a sense of self worth, and self empowerment through giving.
