2018-2019 Mentor Meetings
In our Dreams Career Mentorship program, our kids got the opportunity to meet with mentors from around the city! These mentors come from the career/field each Dreams kid is interested in pursuing in the future, so they all got a glimpse of what their dream jobs are really like!
Becoming a VJ at MEME Music Festival
Fatih and Samad are Winnipeg's newest VJs! (VJ= visuals jockey, like a DJ but for images instead of music).
Working with Memetic, the two digital party dudes learned to mix visuals for party and concert events and performed at the MEME Festival in Winnipeg's Old Market Square. Using footage of everything from an octopus eating a cupcake to WBYO's logo, the trippy visuals were chosen and edited entirely by the young men and their mentors. WBYO staff were there to cheer them on of course, and we couldn't be prouder or more ready to dance to the beat!

Winnipeg has 5 new Doctors! Our 1st Mini MD Club Doctors received their white coats and stethoscopes on June 17th, 2015. We can't wait to see them conquer the next challenge they sent for themselves. We are so proud, we know you guys will make great doctors, or whatever they set their minds to! Big thanks to Kristen at Chew for hosting us!

Vets of the Future
WBYO would like to thank Dr. Jillian Preston and the entire staff at Birchwood Animal Hospital for hosting these two amazing young ladies who dream of being vets. They were given a tour, allowed to see X-rays and even be in the operating theater! We know that all our animal friends will lead healthy and happy lives when these mini-vets reach full size!
Mini-MD Club
These dedicated future doctors came together for a 5 month series on possible careers in the medical field. They learned how to use medical equipment, cast a broken bone, how surgery works and how to get the grades they need to succeed. Big thanks to Dr. Norm Mclean (WBYO Doctor #1) and all his colleagues for making this Dream happen!
