ESTEVAN - The Estevan Public Youth Centre has announced the hiring of Adam Elliott as its new executive director.

Having started on Monday, he is excited to get to work and get programming resuming at the centre as soon as possible.

Elliott hails from Estevan and comes with both a Level 2 in early childhood education and a bachelor of arts in youth ministry.

He has worked at summer camps both as a counsellor and as a leadership-in-training director. He has worked with youth centres in the past, one in Moose Jaw and another in Sundre, Alta. Before moving here, he was working with youth in Alberta where he worked in the community, meeting with many different people.

“I grew up here in Estevan, attending Hillcrest Elementary and graduating from the ECS. Since graduating I have always worked and volunteered with children and youth. Now that I am back, I am excited to be here helping a community that helped me when I was a teenager. 

“As the new executive director of EPYC … I am excited for what this new year holds. I’m looking forward to talking with all the youth that come out and hearing about their ideas for this place because this is ultimately a space for them.

“I am also excited to hear from the volunteers as they are the ones who have been here before me, so I am looking forward to learning from them as well.” 

The Estevan Public Youth Centre’s vision is to be the space in the community where youths explore their passion, purpose and potential. The organization said it values integrity, generosity, innovation, harmony and respect for all.
