May 1st! Youth Entrepreneurship Symposium in Malvern!
We are thrilled to be working on an upcoming video series featuring young leaders in Toronto and their experiences in post-secondary education.
On April 17th, we had our first day of filming and met 8 young people whose stories were incredibly inspiring and motivating. Many of the participants shared how they overcame seemingly insurmountable odds in their pursuit of further education. The most common theme throughout the day? To be a role model to their siblings and other youth in their communities.
We have one more day of shooting, and then its off to the editing room. We can’t wait to see the final edit and share it with all of you, but till then, click here for pictures from the day.

Update:
“
Hello,
As you were one of the participants in last year’s Critical Crossroads Forum (held on June 5th, 2012), I’d like to update you on our next steps.
One of the comments that we heard from our participants was that they were aware of the link between literacy and youth in conflict with the law. However, they were unaware of what programming was available and which of those programs were successful. With that in mind, we are initiating a study of successful literacy programs for youth in the criminal justice system.
We are very fortunate to have the support of Dr. Lloyd Axworthy from the University of Winnipeg. As a result, we will be partnering with Alan Wiebe from their Faculty of Education, and he will be conducting a study on the current landscape of literacy or education programs for youth who are involved in the criminal justice system. These programs could range from supports as part of restorative justice initiatives for lower risk youth, to projects supporting youth who are incarcerated, to programs for youth who have served time and are now receiving post-incarceration support. Our purpose is to describe and analyze these programs, and then share the results and best practices.
You may receive an email or phone call from Mr. Wiebe or his associates at the University of Winnipeg, as they are using our contact list from Critical Crossroads. We would very much appreciate it if you could take a few moments to share your knowledge of literacy programs available for youth involved in the criminal justice system.
Alternately, if you know of an exciting new initiative that you would like included in Mr. Wiebe’s report, please feel free to contact him directly, either through email (a.wiebe@uwinnipeg.ca) or by phone (204-789-1462 204-789-1462 ).
Once this research is complete, we will host another forum that will present the programs available, best practices learned from those programs, and how you might use this information to help youth in your community.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
All the best,
Sherry Campbell “
