Our Community Spotlight video series showcases our collaboration with youth programs that expand the possibilities of youth engagement in our communities. 🎥⁠

This month, we're excited to share a sneak peek of our Community Spotlight with Better Beginnings Better Futures. Better Beginnings’ Baby’s Breath program provides support to pregnant and parenting teenagers, their partners, families, and friends. By sharing experiences, offering nutritional support, providing a social environment as well as prenatal and parenting education, young parents grow their knowledge of fetal/child growth and development. 👶

For #InternationalWorkersDay we want to share the words of youth workers from across Ontario.

Our factsheet “This Is Youth Work: Voices from the frontlines of Ontario’s Youth Sector” strives to answer key questions regarding the experiences of youth workers:

> What is youth work in Ontario really like?
> How does youth workers’ work intersect with their personal lives?
> What are the systemic issues, gaps, and barriers encountered by youth workers?
> How do youth workers navigate these gaps?
> What issues affect youth workers’ ability to do their work with youth as effectively and healthily as possible?
