If you haven't heard of us before we're hoping this blog will help you get familiar... If you don't already know, we are the Toronto Black Youth Collective, the youth "leg" of the African Canadian Legal Clinic. After the establishment of the African Canadian Youth Justice Program, the ACLC recognized the importance of having a youth voice and, thus, we were created.
Annually, we establish and action plan where we decide on key projects to work on throughout the following year. Last year we held the first "Real Talks, Real Movements" Forum on the Black youth identity and youth engagement within the City of Toronto. We definitely considered this forum a great success due to the important topics that were discussed and the passion that was evident amongst those who attended.
This year, we have so much more on the roster. Not only do we plan to bring back the "Real Talks" Forum but we plan to pack it up and bring it directly to you. Expect to see a range of workshop discussion topics as we travel across the city to various youth centres. If you would like us to come visit your youth group, you can contact us at blackyouthcollective@gmail.com .
This year we will also begin working on our first major youth justice initiative - more info to come - and a leadership project for high school students across the GTA who have already established, or wish to begin, a Black Students Association at their school.
So there you have it. Big tings a gwan.
We are ALWAYS seeking new membership and if your eager to be a part of the movement, get at us.
Stay tuned to the blog to learn more about the Collective and to keep in the know about what we're up to.
Until the next time, love one another.
PEACE
