The Youth Cannabis Awareness Program (YCAP) offers free programming to youth aged 12 to 24, as well as adults (parents/guardians and professionals) involved in the lives of youth. Informed by protective factors contributing to youth mental health, YCAP provides a multi-faceted approach to increase knowledge and skills supporting positive youth development. YCAP takes a harm reduction approach and does not make value judgments regarding recreational cannabis use. The program aims to minimize risks associated with cannabis use by providing youth, and adults involved in youth’s lives, with the most accurate and unbiased information. YCAP is a free education and prevention initiative funded through Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program and delivered by the YMCA of Greater Toronto across Canada.

Youth Eco-Stewards is an initiative of Invasives Canada funded by Canada Service Corps. We previously ran a pilot project in 2024 called Youth Nature Keepers. This program provides youth between 12-30 years old with the opportunity to remotely learn about the environment, invasive species, and biodiversity at their own pace. Additionally, it offers funding support to attend conferences or register for certifications, which is geared towards youth looking to boost their Green Career

Our organization is a United Nations award-winning charity and our mission is to turn young people from 'educated' to 'educator.' We take the talents of young people and turn them into one-on-one tutors for other adults and seniors in their communities. For example, imagine a 15 year old teaching a 50 year old how to use Zoom to communicate with their family in another country, or a 16 year old teaching an adult who is new to Canada some basic English skills.

Youth are driving aggressive local climate policy – and this is just the beginning. It’s time for us, youth, to decide where the human story goes next. Global, state, and national leaders are not getting the job done on climate – but this is not where our story ends. Right now, young people are mobilizing in cities across the US and Canada to do what’s necessary to address the climate crisis. We are literally transforming the way cities operate – we arechanging the world.

mddl (pronounced “middle”) is an expert in middle housing, with a collective track record of delivering hundreds of homes in established neighbourhoods. We’ve made many mistakes and learned from them, we’ve celebrated successes, and most importantly, we’ve realized that to make a meaningful impact, we can’t do it alone. It is for this reason we have renewed our focus to support at-scale delivery of middle housing across Canadian cities. As a CMHC Level Up Stage 5 Housing Supply Challenge Finalist, our mission, alongside strategic partners, is to build capacity from top to bottom, and to strategically partner with municipalities, industry experts and citizens in reducing barriers and delivering middle.
