Enhanced Youth Programming

The City of Brandon Enhanced Youth Programming initiative, or EYP for short, is a completely FREE afterschool program for youth aged 8 to 14. Programming takes place at rotating locations across the community, including community centres and other recreation facilities. EYP's enthusiastic staff provide participants with a safe, inclusive, and positive space, while facilitating planned activities including sports & fitness, arts & crafts, game & competitions, and social events. 

EYP programming is drop-in friendly and does not require regular attendance. However, a registration form must be completed by a parent or guardian prior to participating. There is no fee for registration, and there are no added costs for any activities.

To register please print and fully complete the below form and return it via email to recreation@brandon.ca or in person at, or prior to the first day of participation in EYP programming. Forms will also be available at each location to complete in person.

Three Strike Policy

A three-strike policy will be put in place for the youth participants of the program. If any youth fails to behave or abide by the guidelines, they will be asked to leave for the remainder of the night.

Strike 1: If a youth consistently fails to listen to staff and does not abide by the guidelines, they will be asked to leave for the remainder of the night and will not be able to attend the following week/night the program is open.

Strike 2: If this behaviour continues, the youth participant will then be sent home with a suspension of two weeks from Enhanced Youth Programming.

Strike 3: After a youth has had a two-week suspension from Enhanced Youth Programming and continues to not listen to staff, misbehave or not abide by the guidelines, the youth will then be suspended indefinitely, or until he/she, along with a parent or guardian, meets with the Enhanced Youth Programmer.
