Field Trips
Field trips are a key part of the Newcomer Youth Services program at BGC Moncton. Throughout the year, Job Readiness participants take part in visits to local businesses and community spaces, exploring career opportunities while discovering the culture and nature of New Brunswick.
These experiences support learning beyond the classroom, helping youth build confidence, connections, and a stronger sense of belonging in their new community.
