CONNECTING EXPERIENCE TO INNOVATION
Youth Friendly’s mission is to educate and train our partners on creating spaces where young Canadians can have a tangible impact on the conditions they live in, especially within our democratic institutions.
“Young people have the immense capacity to contribute to the development of better solutions to our collective challenges. They are also absent from decision-making tables in many organizations and in our institutions. Apathy is Boring has been engaging our peers since 2004, our Youth Friendly program is built to share and support others to better engage youth in their work using the principles and practices which have guided ours.”
Straight from the youth
We’re incredibly excited to present to you the first edition of Youth Friendly Magazine! Within these pages, you’ll see exactly what being #YouthFriendly is all about: giving young people the space to make their voices heard in writing and art. And help you better understand where Canadian youth are so you can meet them there.
