GYC is a member-driven organization that is governed by our grassroots youth-led core membership. Our membership has expanded to support both emerging and existing to develop community programs that are meaningful and engaging to the community that they are working within:
1. Provide opportunities for networking and collaborative projects;
2. Fill the gap on trainings by organizing what trainings are missing from the sector and ensure its tailored for our members;
3. Direct support and mentorship to give young people the skills to develop;
4. Highlight and showcase the positivity and extraordinary events and programs that young people in Toronto are creating;
5. Advocacy for transformative/systemic change, that affects youth in communities that are marginalized, through research as well as meetings and partnerships with community leaders, funding agencies and policy makers.
