YRP Youth in Policing Initiative
Develop your skills and be inspired
In collaboration with the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services, York Regional Police offers teenagers an innovative employment experience within a safe and healthy work environment.
The YIPI Program is suitable for youth with leadership potential who may experience barriers to success and would benefit from a positive mentorship experience. The program is designed to help young people develop job skills, while inspiring them to consider a career in policing and to become ambassadors of York Regional Police by improving the relationship between police and the community we serve.
Through activities, team-based work groups and mentorship opportunities, successful applicants:
- Experience a variety of police units and community organizations throughout York Region
- Work together to support organizational and community initiatives
- Develop and enhance employment, life and teamwork skills
