What does the organization do?
Youth Understanding Youth is a self-supporting youth group, facilitated by a team of volunteer professionals from the community, that strives to create a safe environment in which youth can explore and express their interests and needs in an atmosphere where they are supported and respected for their contributions and unique individual differences.
Opportunities for Youth
Today, YUY has evolved to include a variety of volunteer adult facilitators from a range of diverse backgrounds. These volunteers donate their time, energy, and talent to ensure that youth feel safe and supported for who they are and not for whom society tells them they should be. As a volunteer organization, YUY does not offer counselling or outreach programming. However, we do attempt to offer supportive referrals and support services.
