Hello! I'm Amina and I find enjoyment in reading, writing, and drinking as much boba as I can! Aside from being a grade 11 student at Western Canada High school, I am a Co-manager at the Forest Lawn site.

Hi there! I’m Jane, the founder and Executive Director of YCC. Hailing from a professional career in corporate law and business, I found my passion in the non-profit space and quickly fell in love with the idea of creating a safe and fun place for kids to do what they do best, "be kids." YCC was born out of a desire to provide a positive hub for the kids of the Ogden community and beyond. I have four amazing children of my own, three daughters and one son, as well as a dog named Sammie. In my spare time I love running, being outdoors, travelling and reading. Though the past year has been anything but ordinary, I’ve loved the opportunity to serve the wonderful communities of Calgary and meet the individuals that make them so special. I look forward to meeting all of you soon!
