Two high schoolers, Joshua and Jason, undertook a life-changing adventure through our district's Explorations Program. This program is tailored to empower Grade 12 students with diverse abilities, equipping them with essential skills for transitioning from high school to young adulthood.
One pivotal component of the program involves travel training, in partnership with TransLink, which enables students to confidently navigate public transportation systems. This newfound sense of independence has profoundly transformed the lives of Joshua and Jason. Joshua now embarks on adventures in Richmond, savors coffee with friends, and shops in downtown Vancouver. As for Jason, who had never taken a bus before, this program has opened doors for him to journey to Vancouver for lunch and to ride the SeaBus to North Vancouver.
