YouthScape: Community Based – Youth Paced

The next generation is rising, and the future of the community is in their hands.  How can we successfully progress if our youth aren’t actively participating within our society? The United Way of Thunder Bay has partnered with the McConnell Family Foundation in YouthScape. Our project aims to involve youth, ages 13 – 29 to create a positive change throughout the Simpson-Ogden area and beyond.   By organizing services and resources for young people, building partnerships that help to create a strong youth voice, and developing accessible youth ‘spaces’ within the community, we hope to become a leader in neighbourhood capacity building, all in all creating a buzz that will attract the youth and inspire them to get involved.  They can help lead the way!  They are important and we need their help.  

Through the YouthScape project we are seeking out the young people that want a better future for themselves and the community.  They are developing and maintaining effective approaches to positive change.  To increase the chances of success, this type of capacity building needs to be performed on personal, community and system levels. It’s all about team work and dedication!  It’s time to get involved and make a difference today!
