The Youth In Policing Initiative is an employment program with the Ottawa Police Service for youth 15-18 years of age and attending a secondary school program. The goal of the Youth in Policing Initiative is to give young people an opportunity to develop job skills while enhancing police and community relations.  The program is for interested youth with leadership potential including those who may experience barriers to success and would benefit from this unique opportunity.

clip_image024I am hoping to present a puppet show of Little Red Riding Hood at the Ruth E. Dickinson Library during March Break.  For this project I need to have four student volunteers.  I would like the volunteers to review and modify the script to their liking, make props, develop the stage directions, create the musical set list, and perform their production for about 100 children.  The students will earn volunteer hours for this creative work.  The puppets will be made by a professional puppeteer.

In the past, the students involved in our puppet shows have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  Unfortunately these students will be away over the Spring Break and it is time to bring in another troop of puppeteers.

If any of your students would be interested in this opportunity, please have them contact me by email at

ann-marie.miller@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613-580-2796.

Thanks for your assistance with this,
