The Spotlight Series
The Spotlight Series helps tell the stories of youth who are the leaders of today. It includes a series of speakers panels and podcasts facilitated by the CYC, which focus on the theme of UNITY. It gives youth the opportunity to positively impact other students by sharing their stories and lessons, and by helping engage their peers in dialogue about how to build more inclusive communities.
CYC CommUNITY podcast
Our CommUNITY podcast is a project facilitated by DTBY’s Community Youth Council (CYC); we are giving our young leaders an opportunity to step into bigger leadership roles and explore causes they are passionate about. Through this podcast we hope to highlight organizations in our community who we believe are doing amazing work, spread awareness about important issues and inspire viewers to get more involved in their community.
We are extremely excited to launch the first episode of our CommUNITY Podcast! We are beyond honoured to have PFLAG Halton as our first guests to this series. Listen to Taylor and Whit’s inspiring story about leading the charge to support and advocate for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities across Halton.
