Consultation findings report

The Youth Voice Report includes the stories and feedback shared by youth with youth. They shared their need for safe community spaces, the importance of expression, their frustrations with the current education and employment systems, the role of support systems that work and reflect their experiences, and their connections to their communities.

Their insights are valuable and compelling and from them the following recommendations were developed:

• Improve accessibility and youth experience within services
• Strengthen and expand youth-centred community spaces
• Expand mentorship, career pathways, and skills development
• Enhance youth entrepreneurship and micro-grant access
• Encourage youth hiring and workplace inclusion
• Invest in culturally grounded, accessible mental health support
