Power Unit Youth Organization is a youth-driven non-profit organization based in Toronto, striving to promote youth development and empowerment through philanthropy. The year 2009 is the inaugural year for PUYO as a standalone organization run by youths, for youths, seeking to extend its missions and providing more opportunities to empower youths from all over the GTA.

Originally founded in 2002 and completely volunteer-based, Power Unit continues motivate youths to understand the importance and the impact one can make in the community through philanthropic means. The mission is realized through planning and executing small- and large-scale community initiatives, youth development programs, charity fundraisers and other such initiatives. To date, Power Unit has fundraised over $55,000 for local charities, and grown from a small group of enthusiastic university students to over one-hundred students and recent graduates from across the GTA. Members range from 16 to 26-year-olds, with diverse backgrounds and interest, all united under the belief that youth can leave an indelible mark upon society for the better. Dedication, spirit, and philanthropy set the organization apart from other youth development programs.

Night It Up! formerly known as Toronto Night Market, has been and continues to be the organization's flagship project, attracting over 70,000 attendees to a two-day celebration of the pan-Asian multiculturalism that is uniquely Toronto.
