Youth Talent Incubator (MYYAC)

About the program

Belonging first, skills built in

The Youth Talent Incubator is a free group mentoring program for youth and young adults transitioning from care (MYYAC).

 

This isn't a compliance program it's a group of people who show up weekly to build practical skills together: money skills, finding housing, healthy relationships, career direction, hands-on STEM and creativity challenges. It's trauma-informed, creating a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment.

You don't need to have it all figured out to join.

Submitting the registration form doesn't automatically confirm eligibility or enrolment. Skillcity will follow up personally to confirm next steps.

How it works

A weekly rhythm you can count on

01

Register or get referred

Fill out a short form yourself, or have a caregiver, worker, or agency start it with your OK.

02

We reach out personally

A real person from Skillcity contacts you, explains what's next, and answers your questions.

03

Join Thursdays at Clareview

Weekly sessions, mixing life skills, STEM challenges, mentorship, and social connections.

Getting started

Register yourself, or refer someone

The same short form works whether you're joining yourself or introducing someone else. It typically takes about 10 minutes, and nothing is final until Skillcity confirms with you directly.

  • Youth & young adults can register themselves

  • Parents, caregivers, and workers can start a referral with consent

  • Not sure the youth knows yet? We can reach out and explain first
