Our Programs
This 10-month social advocacy and leadership fellowship program consists of an energetic cohort of promising youth from York Region, who engage in bi-weekly training on 21st century skills and social justice topics (Led by the amazing LIGHT executives!).
​
Program participants will also be given an opportunity to create a youth-led initiative in small groups based on a social issue they are passionate about.
Previous initiatives have included: Online tutoring programs, women empowerment art exhibitions, newcomer skill-building workshops, children's camps, self-defense workshops, etc.!
The initiatives will be led and designed by Level-Up members themselves, and then implemented into our local community!
