Congratulations to our Youth Leadership Program Graduates! From March 14 to March 21, 2026, a group of 32 students took part in the AbbyPD Youth Leadership Program—an intensive and inspiring program designed to help young people grow as confident, capable leaders. The AbbyPD Youth Leadership Program provides high school students with an exceptional opportunity to develop both personal and team-based leadership skills through immersive experiences focused on policing, public safety, and community service. Over the span of eight days and seven nights, participants engage in dynamic and challenging activities aimed at unlocking their full leadership potential. Guided by experienced local police officers, students take part in interactive presentations, hands‑on policing simulations, and meaningful lessons in social responsibility, communication, and life skills. This practical, team‑oriented environment pushes them mentally and physically while fostering teamwork, resilience, and personal growth. Open to students in grades 10 through 12 from public and private schools across Abbotsford, the program introduces participants to essential concepts such as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, police procedures, emergency response, forensics, self‑defense, and more—equipping them with knowledge that supports both civic awareness and lifelong leadership. Congratulations on making it through the week! Your hard work, resilience, and positive attitude carried you through every challenge. Be proud of what you accomplished—you pushed yourself, grew as leaders, and finished strong. Well done! 👏 Thank you to the Abbotsford Police Foundation for supporting this and many other AbbyPD programs! youtu.be/OkSqzyl9Esc?si…
