About

Pushing beyond youth engagement and into youth empowerment, YouthTalk provides youth with a unique opportunity to formally advise decision makers. Through open discussions, youth share their opinions on issues important to them and brainstorm ideas as to what they feel could be done to enhance our communities, support children/youth, and improve our government structures/systems.

YouthTalk uses both online and offline mediums to interact with and engage youth in the decision making process and is organized into various levels including: Division Councils, District Councils, National Councils, and an International Assembly. This structure allows for maximum participation in issue-based discussions, encourages cooperation, and provides youth with an opportunity to display and build upon their leadership skills.

YouthTalk is governed by a set of Bylaws, defined and interpreted by the International Assembly. Each National and District Council also operate under their own set of bylaws. All of the advocacy and engagement work conducted by YouthTalk is supported by an Administration composed of adult volunteers.

:: Notice ::

We wish to compliment the serves offered by networks such as Taking It Global and are obviously by no means trying to duplicate the structure of features of Facebook. YouthTalk.ca desires to create a youth community of youth and youth organizations who are specifically interested in sharing their opinions on and advocating for various issues.
