Operating bottom up, with the youth membership running the show, the CYA is interested in bridging the gap between apathy, disinterest and disengagement and involvement in the public process.
Working with other youth organizations and governments on various levels we strive to create more opportunities for youth to become engaged (through internships, electing a national youth representative body, etc) and a method of representing youth issues to the people of Canada.
We have a special focus on bringing about representation to under or unrepresented groups, such as Aboriginal youth.
