Marilyn L. Dyck, M.S.M.
Calgary, Alberta
Marilyn Dyck co-founded The Doorway, a centre that, for more than 30 years, has helped Calgary street youth rejoin society and make lasting, positive changes in their lives. Using the My Plan method, youth control their level of engagement and define their own benchmarks for success by employing the key principles of self-determination, legal income, self-accountability and community involvement, making The Doorway unique from other social assistance programs.
