Every young person’s journey is unique and their needs are too. For Youth Initiative has developed a deep understanding of how to best support these needs for the diverse populations of young people we engage with. We support primarily Black, racialized, and newcomer youth with responsive and inclusive programs and services that meet individuals where they are and help them navigate the barriers to reaching their highest potential. Utilizing a person-centred approach, we build life-long relationships with our community of young people and are committed to acknowledging and understanding their unique experiences and stories.
Take a look at the illustrations below for a closer look at the unique identities and demographics of the youth we have served over recent years.
