The Youth Stars Counsellor in Training (CIT) Program is designed for youth ages 12-18 who want to develop leadership skills and gain hands-on experience as an assistant camp counsellor. Through virtual workshops, participants will learn essential skills such as conflict resolution, behaviour management, professionalism, and leadership.
This program provides valuable training that prepares youth to work with campers, including those with special needs while earning a CIT certification. With one-hour sessions over eight consecutive weeks, participants will build confidence, enhance their resumes, and develop the skills needed to make a positive impact.
Hosted by media personality, youth advocate and DJ Malik Shaheed, the tour delivers a learning experience that goes beyond the textbook.
“The goal of the tour really is to break stereotypes, to show Black people in a positive light,” said Shaheed. “People have a misunderstanding sometimes about Black people, Africa and our contributions. So it’s just very important for me to talk to the kids and give them some knowledge and history about Blacks.
As the Executive Director of the Youth Stars Foundation, Malik Shaheed has spent nearly two decades empowering youth through camps, anti-bullying tours, and Black History Month initiatives. From interviewing hip-hop legends like Wyclef Jean and 50 Cent on MusiquePlus to advocating for Black youth as a school board commissioner, Malik’s journey is a testament to passion, resilience, and leadership.
Recognized as a 2024 Black Changemaker, Malik continues to uplift Quebec’s Black community while staying true to his roots in Little Burgundy.
