Friendships That Last
The Rosedale Youth Group is more than a gathering. It is a space where friendships are formed and strengthened through shared experiences, conversations, and service. Many youth who have grown up at Rosedale describe their time in the Youth Group as some of the most meaningful and lasting relationships in their lives.
Rosedale youth are invited to take part in Gibimishkaadimin, a project of reconciliation that brings together Indigenous youth from across Canada and non-Indigenous youth from Shining Waters Region in Ontario. This summer canoe trip on Lake Temagami is a chance to build community, learn through an Indigenous lens, and form a deeper connection to the land and each other.
Gibimishkaadimin is an Indigenous word meaning paddling together by boat. Rosedale is honoured to support this experience and the powerful work of reconciliation it represents.
Each year, Rosedale awards the Youth Impact Grant to a young person or group who is creating change in their community. This grant supports youth who are leading with courage and compassion and encourages them to bring their ideas to life.
Youth at Rosedale are curious, thoughtful, and engaged. Whether they are volunteering on Sundays, paddling in the wilderness, leading in worship, or making an impact through service, the youth of Rosedale continue to inspire and lead us forward.
