Youth in our network are enhancing their leadership skills and contributing to a more sustainable and equal region and planet!

I love working with the Youth4Action circle, because it is such a positive space. It offers the unique opportunity to connect, grow and laugh alongside other passionate, like-minded people from across Metro Vancouver. The Youth4Action leadership team does a wonderful job facilitating connections with student leaders and the experts working for our region, creating valuable discourse, and unique learning opportunities. I can’t recommend it enough!”

Eli Hacker, Langley School District

Being a part of Youth4Action has been an empowering and invaluable experience. This program has connected me with a network of like-minded youth across the region, increased my sustainability leadership capacity, and taught me to view my community through an action-oriented lens. The inspiration I received from other youth, the resources and knowledge I gained from Y4A workshops, the opportunities I have been given to practice leadership skills, and the unwavering support from Y4A facilitators, have equipped me to influence sustainability in my community.”
