The 2011 year is now behind us and our Youth Leadership in Social Justice Program (formerly called the Youth Leadership in Human Rights Program and also know as MARL-Y) is now midway through the 2011-2012 school year. This year the program saw many exciting changes this year as we shifted from having only English high schools in attendance to also including French schools.
The Board and Staff of MARL would like to wish you all a wonderful and warm holiday season and a happy new year. In the spirit of the holidays, our office will be closed from December 24th, 2011 untill January 2nd, 2012; reopening on January 3rd, 2012.
“May everyday of the new year glow with good cheer and happiness”
