“…We have successfully improved the way our programs are designed and implemented to better meet the needs of young people. At the same time, we also learned a lot about project management, research and evaluation knowledge.”
Celebrating 10 Years of Impact! #YouthREXat10
YouthREX is celebrating the 10th year of a shared commitment to supporting the important work of youth programs and youth workers in advancing youth wellbeing!

Storying Youth Work: Share Your Story!
As we celebrate #YouthREXat10, we’re reflecting on the past decade of youth work across Ontario. We want to hear from you! We invite you to share your stories of what youth work means to you — stories of connection, care, challenge, joy and change!
Share your story in the Storying Youth Work space on the Virtual Café by YouthREX. This virtual community invites youth workers to share meaningful moments, lessons and reflections on their personal and professional journeys in the sector. The community features stories about the rich and nuanced nature of youth engagement through shared anecdotes and collective wisdom.
Your story matters!
