Young people living in Canada have been uniquely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s made socializing, going to school and finding work all the more difficult. But now that we’re on the path to normal life again with vaccinations taking place, we want to make sure youth are front and centre in the economic and social recovery.
Say Hello To Youth Friendly!

(Re-)Enter Youth Friendly. The program will work with partner organizations to create environments where youth perspectives will be specifically sought out, valued and integrated. Youth - being more creative, more innovative and more likely to take risks - are at the forefront of change and Youth Friendly’s mission is to ensure organizations, social enterprises, government, and communities recognize that.
Through various services including workshops, presentations, brainstorms and consultations, YF will help organizations better understand how to create conditions that generate meaningful, sustainable environments, and engage young Canadians to leverage their expertise in reopening a strong and democratic society.
This relaunched version of Youth Friendly combines the previous experience we’ve garnered from consulting organizations such as the Canadian Red Cross, Canada World Youth and the City of Kitchener with the Youth-Led Democratic Innovation (#YLDI) framework we’ve developed through RISE. So we 100% know what we’re talking about and this is us unleashing it to partners who will ultimately make intentional and inclusive spaces for youth like you!
