How Your Feedback Shaped The Kit for Centering Black Youth Wellbeing

HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS FACTSHEET:
YouthREX has launched The Kit for Centering Black Youth Wellbeing, an online hub for anti-Black racism learning + action + community engagement in Ontario’s youth sector.
To develop The Kit, we gathered insights from various stakeholders who had engaged with Centering Black Youth Wellbeing: A Certificate on Combatting Anti-Black Racism. Their feedback informed the creation of The Kit and the Call-In-Cards for Anti-Black Racism Action, specifically in identifying the key strategies, tools, and resources that would be instrumental in reinforcing anti-racism efforts beyond the certificate.
Drawing on this input, we envisioned an engaging and interactive accountability toolkit to support structural transformation that centres the wellbeing of Black youth and their families in individual practices and organizational policies. We prioritized practical, actionable, culturally responsive, and diverse tools and resources that support varied learning styles and needs.
We also listened closely to the voices of Black youth, parents/caregivers, educators, and youth workers to identify gaps and refine our offerings to ensure that The Kit is not only relevant but also responsive to the unique challenges Black youth and communities face.
This factsheet summarizes what we heard from stakeholders and how we responded in developing The Kit. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this critical work.
