About Us
What We Do
At DYSL, our mandate is to:
Fund youth-led projects to advance student leadership skills in Delta
Fund leadership and spirit bursaries to graduating Delta youth
Provide mentorship opportunities for youth to learn employment skills at DYSL
Promote, develop and implement youth-led initiatives, volunteerism and community building partnerships
We do this through a myriad of different programs and initiatives. From employing Delta youth through the Canada Summer Jobs program, or serving as a space for newcomers to Canada to get involved in the community, DYSL is a hub for building community, skills, and connections.
