The Youth Leadership Forum will offer youth from across Canada the opportunity to lead and be part of an intensive week-long experience exploring issues of diversity and inclusion to be held in the Greater Toronto Area from June 29 – July 6th 2019. The week-long leadership forum will offer youth mentorship and hands-on volunteer experiences, along with the opportunity to work together, guided by creative industry professionals, to present ideas and solutions for personal action to younger elementary school aged children in a half-day Youth Forum that they design and produce.

Throughout the week’s activities they will prepare for the Forum day itself where they will work collaboratively to create, plan, and produce a half-day youth forum for a live audience. This audience represents the third tier of youth engagement – younger youth from local schools and the wider community who will be the primary audience and the participants in the half-day forum.
