youth inspire community day
The gateway to all our programs begins at Youth Inspire Community Day (YICD). This annual youth-led and driven event is hosted by DTBY’s Community Youth Council each November. While the day’s theme changes each year, YICD is designed to connect youth to engage with their communities and engage in meaningful dialogue around equity and inclusion, leadership and life skills, and mental and financial wellness and resilience. YICD sets the stage for our subsequent outreach initiatives. It enables us to partner with other not-for-profit organizations to identify marginalized and at-risk youth and offer them tailored support and mentorship through our programs.

Youth Inspired Community Day will be held on Thursday, November 28th, at Appleby College in Oakville.
