◢ Our Work
Your voice. Your work.
This is the work we’ve built alongside youth in and from care — every project here started with a young person naming what mattered. Explore what’s happening, then tell us what’s important to you. Your voice sets the agenda.
Passion Projects
Pet Friendly Services
Better supporting youth aging out of care who have companion animals — raising awareness among service providers, developing pet-friendly housing policies, and ensuring youth can care for their pets.
Food Security
Decreasing the number of youth aging out of care who experience food insecurity. Ensuring access to nutritious food and food banks. Report: “No one should go to bed hungry.”
Youth Spaces
Increasing access to youth-specific spaces where care-experienced youth can connect with peers to participate in community, culture, and activities.
Youth Housing
Increasing access to affordable and safe housing for youth transitioning out of government care — improving housing options and supports through allocated units in new and existing developments.
Food Calendar 2025
A free, youth-facing meal-planning calendar — recipes, budget tips and local food-bank hours month by month. Built by the Food Security project so no young person goes to bed hungry.
In their words.
