Communities Building Youth Futures
Tamarack Institute and the Government of Canada, through the Goal Getters program, have committed to a five-year pan-Canadian project to develop collective impact and system-wide solutions for youth as they build and act upon plans for their future.
Communities Building Youth Futures is committed to improving outcomes for youth who face barriers as they pursue their education and transition to employment and understands that this work requires collaborative, community-championed solutions with youth leadership and youth engagement.
The CBYF team is here to support you, learn more about members of the team; Nathalie Blanchet, and Trisha Islam. Feel free to connect with any of them.
