Youth-to-Youth (Y2Y)

Grades 9 – 12

The Youth 2 Youth (Y2Y) program aims to support youth by creating a space where they can explore issues of concern together. The monthly sessions create a safe and inclusive environment for youth with Learning Disabilities and/or ADHD to meet and share their struggles and strategies for success.

Participants connect with other youth with Learning Disabilities and/or ADHD, and Youth Ambassadors are also present at the sessions to facilitate conversations and share their experiences living with a Learning Disability and/or ADHD.
