Youth Council

influencing the work of our organization

mission statement

Through discussion and collaboration, the CCYP Youth Council seeks to create an inclusive and diverse space where youth can share their lived experiences interacting with the workforce development ecosystem.

We will do so by advising and holding the CCYP team accountable on youth issues by co-creating solutions. To take action, the CCYP Youth Council will plan events, facilitate opportunities, and engage with youth across Canada.

We are a part of a collective movement that encourages and supports youth to get involved in creating change for generations to come.
