Bounce Back
Use hip-hop to build confidence, communication, and emotional skills that support real growth
YOUR VOICE, YOUR EXPERIENCE, YOUR MUSIC
The Bounce Back program supports youth in custody at the Calgary Young Offender Centre (CYOC) in strengthening communication and emotional skills. Through hip-hop and creative expression, participants explore identity, resilience, and personal growth. The program creates space for reflection, confidence-building, and skill development that extend beyond the experience. It’s about turning creativity into positive change and building skills for a stronger future.
WHO CAN JOIN?
Bounce Back is only offered to youth in custody at CYOC and not open to the general public.
