Agnes welcomes the support of arts-engaged high school students at Agnes Art Camp, week-long day camps for children ages 6–12 in July.

Volunteering at Agnes offers individuals an opportunity to be immersed in a museum education environment. We encourage teens interested in learning about visual arts, creativity and education to reach out.

Flexible schedules are available and students may opt to volunteer for a full week, mornings or afternoons only, or another custom schedule designed with Agnes.

You can read more about our camps here: https://agnes.queensu.ca/participate/classes-workshops-camps/agnes-art-camp-summer-2023/

The grassroots collective, Gender Affirming Assistance Project (GAAP), is a community-based group based in the Katarokwi/Kingston region that seeks to support two-spirit, trans, non-binary, and gender diverse community members.

This initiative aims to reduce the barriers for people when accessing gender-affirming care and rooting for anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and intersectional ethics of care. GAAP is working with community members, including students from Queen’s University, to provide two services currently: gender-affirming apparel, and support for name/gender marker changes on identification cards.

There are many community organizations, including The Maltby Centre, that offer a variety of resources to support students and families. The Maltby Centre (https://maltbycentre.ca/) provides mental health and autism services to children and youth, and works with clients in schools, homes, and other locations.

Other supports include:

• School Mental Health Ontario
• Youth Diversion
  
• Kids Help Phone

We continue to see many students who struggle to safely and respectively use social media. Please monitor your student's phone usage, especially at night. Many students admit to staying up quite late each night, and therefore coming to school quite tired. Thank you for your vigilance and helping your student get the most out of their day.
