Where young people lead

Youth Ambassadors

Young leaders who train in restorative practice, facilitate circles and design school-based initiatives from the ground up.

Summer Circle Program

Since 2022, youth staff spend the summer leading circles at partner agencies across Toronto. By the end of 2025, every one of them rated their knowledge of restorative practice a 4 or 5 out of 5.

Sister 2 Sister

A youth-led conference for more than 200 racialized female-identified and non-binary youth from schools across Toronto.

Leaders of Tomorrow

Small-group leadership sessions where young people build communication and conflict-resolution skills they carry into school and home.
