Turn the World Around.

JAYCC uses a model Jai created, inspired by the Harry Belafonte song, to ground oneself, not just in prescribed wellness language, but in who they are as a person, their values, and how they can “Turn the World Around”. Unlike many Child & Youth models, which focus on behaviour and forced compliance, TTWA is a person-centred approach that keeps values at the centre, and allows for self-expression work and individuality. Youth accessing services may come across this model, as a check-in, or a values/grounding activity.

Meet Jai

Founder, CYC-P

Hi, I’m Jaimi Darzi, (Jai for short, Pronounced like Chai). I’ve also practiced under the name Jaymee House and Jai Ari I’m a passionate community advocate, with an advanced diploma in Child & Youth Care, and 10 years of work & volunteer experience in various settings, including community centres, schools, youth development, Autism services, outreach, and respite environments. Using this experience, I started a sole proprietership to continue to do what I love most - engage with youth and their community to strengthen access to recreation and positive development.

My current work is volunteer and grassroots in nature. I operate a small recreation lending library in my hometown; and as an uber driver, I engage in informal outreach, providing meals and community resources for those in need within downtown cores.
