This webinar was hosted by YouthREX.

HERE’S HOW THE HOSTS DESCRIBE THIS WEBINAR:

How can we leverage online platforms to facilitate connection, community-building, and peer support among youth? How can we reach, engage, and support youth who may be experiencing social isolation?

This engaging and timely conversation explored how organizations are using new and existing online platforms to engage youth, build communities, and facilitate peer-to-peer support.

The conversation featured organizations that have been using these approaches for years, as well as programs that have effectively adapted to providing online community-building opportunities in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our guests included:

• Michelle McClure, Executive Director, Ability Online
• Hayley Moody, Manager, Provincial Programs, LGBT Youth Line
• Jonathon Reed, Program Manager, Next Gen Men

The conversation was co-facilitated by Katelyn Wang, Executive Director, L.I.G.H.T. (Lead, Inspire, Grow, Hope, Transform).
