Teacher Appreciation Award
The Teacher Appreciation Award recognizes Manitoban teachers who have demonstrated outstanding support for YPM.
Many of our members indicate that they found out about our organization through a teacher who motivated them to register for Session. We are indebted to the support of these caring and passionate educators for helping spread the word about YPM as a valuable opportunity for their students.
