Programs for Secondary Students

Humber offers a range of youth programs both on and off campus in partnership with local schools and community organizations. These hands on experiential programs are designed to inspire youth to engage with learning and graduate from high school, offer help such as access to homework clubs, and create opportunities to experience and explore pathways to postsecondary education. The programs are developed specifically for elementary and secondary school students. In addition, Humber also has programs specially designed for out of school youth.
