Pre-teens participate in recreational programs run by fully-trained child care workers and counselors.
Teenagers participate in a specially-designed program which recognizes their unique interests but also incorporates the issues of social unionism in their curriculum.
Adults, both members and their spouse/partner, combine learning and recreational activities and come away from the program with a better understanding of how to integrate trade unionism and social activism in the life of the family and community. Through small group discussions, case studies, video presentations, guest speakers, role plays, art, music and other activities, participants draw from their own experiences and learn from each other about environmental, workplace, political, human rights, and social issues affecting all of us, our families, and working people around the world.
Every Unifor member, and all immediate family members, including dependent children up to 18 years of age, are eligible to attend the Family Education Program.

Unifor can’t wait to see you and your family this summer!
