School Outreach

The Branches Program facilitates several school outreach initiatives which aim to bring families and communities together to learn with and from each other.

Branches works with Montréal school boards and various McGill partners to support families and youth underrepresented in the McGill population, including youth from socio-economically marginalized and/or Indigenous communities.

Our goal is to work with school boards, educators, families, and members of the McGill community to create responsive, sustainable programming that encourages young students to persevere in school and see themselves as lifelong learners.
