QUEST is a life skills program for boys that has run in Muskoka schools since 2006 and the YWCA has developed responsive curriculum's for boys in grades 5/6, 7/8 and 9/10.
QUEST helps boys learn to become resilient and compassionate, to think critically about gender stereotypes and relationships, and to explore respect for diversity and individual strengths.

The curriculum for the boy program focuses on resilience, stereotypes, anger and strength issues to prevent woman from being abused.

Marcy is very passionate about this program.  In her thank you speech she talked about a boy who recently came up to her on the street to thank her for helping him with his anger. 
He let her know how he uses the skills from the Quest program to better handle his problems.
It is stories like this gentlemen's that make her job rewarding!  Huntsville Rotary Club will be helping young men to become better men!
