It is mandatory that all applicants and their legal guardian attend an orientation. Orientations are being conducted virtually through Microsoft teams, or in-person at designated locations.

The application is now online. When you “Schedule an Orientation” you will be required to provide an email address. You will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to access the orientation and a link to “SchoolDoc”, the online platform where our application is located. You may register and apply immediately or wait until the orientation is completed.

All applicants that have attended an orientation will be assigned a case-manager, who will assist in the application completion process. Please ensure you have signed all forms requiring your signature. Applications will be submitted through “SchoolDoc”.

OYCP does not accept responsibility for lost applications. It is your responsibility to ensure we have received your full complete application. Eligible applicants who meet our “immediate select” criteria may be selected immediately upon receipt and Director approval of their application. Immediate select criteria are explained at orientation. The sooner your application is completed, the better. Please don’t delay!
