He introduced new programs such as the indoor skate park, youth caf\u00e9, sports and recreation programs, life and employment skills training, and a variety of discipleship programs. He developed and maintained strong community partnerships with the City of London, community resource centres, and youth agencies. These programs and partnerships provided opportunities to resource and holistically support youth in our city to discover and reach their potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">James is working closely with the board during this transition and will continue to lead the organization during the recruitment process.
