Current Advocacy Initiatives
At the Youth Council of the Westshore, we’re committed to addressing key issues that impact our community. Here are some of our current areas of advocacy:
1. Affordable Transportation for Youth
We believe that accessible transportation is vital for youth to engage with their community. We are advocating for more affordable and convenient transportation options to help young people get to school, activities, and jobs.
2. More Youth-Friendly Space
We’re working towards increasing the number of activities and hangout spots for youth in the Westshore. Our goal is to create safe, welcoming spaces where young people can connect, have fun, and engage in positive activities.
3. Youth Voice in Development
We are actively ensuring that youth perspectives are considered in the development of services and programs within the Westshore. By amplifying our voices, we aim to shape initiatives that truly reflect the needs and desires of our community’s youth.
Engaging with Local Leaders
We have engaged in productive conversations with several local leaders to raise our concerns and advocate for change. Our commitment to dialogue and collaboration will help us continue to push for improvements that benefit all youth in the Westshore.
Looking Ahead
We are excited about the impact we can make and look forward to expanding our advocacy efforts. Stay tuned for updates as we work to create a brighter future for all young people in our community!
