At YouCAN! our vision is to foster “a nation where all youth work in partnership with their communities to grow within peaceful and conflict-resolving lifestyles.” The primary activities undertaken by YouCAN! are:

• Training
• Facilitation
• Public Education and Research
• Workshops and Conferences
• Youth Taking Action Plans
• Resources
• Networking

There is tremendous potential for positive impact through youth peacebuilding and conflict resolution. Students, parents, community members and educators benefit from learning and participating in these disciplines. Through these processes, participants can improve attitudes towards conflict, increase understanding of nonviolent problem-solving methods and develop enhanced communication skills. These skills not only make us better people, but more employable as well!

A lot of young people want to know how to become actively involved in their communities and what contribution they can make as youth. YouCAN! helps make this endeavour as easy as possible. Each regional chapter holds volunteer meetings on a regular basis, which invite any interested individuals to drop by and sit in on meetings. Additionally, there are many projects that can be worked on on an individual and group basis outside of meeting times. Contact your local YouCAN! team and find out how you can help out or if there isn’t one in your area, start up your own team with some friends!!

Currently, we have teams established in Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton, Halifax, and Vancouver. Local teams are always looking for new members and volunteers are always welcome to join or simply visit these meetings. Please contact info@youcan.ca to learn more about meetings in your area.
