Navigating the web of social services for youth can be challenging, and the Tamarack Institute has identified this as a common barrier for young people in this country.
Our mission is to empower communities, youth organizations, municipalities, governments, young individuals, and everyone in between with effective strategies tailored to their needs, addressing specific and common barriers.
This guide is more than just a compilation of strategies; it's a result of the extensive research of Tamarack’s Communities Building Youth Futures team, and the communities we work with, as well as learnings from insightful interviews with folks with lived experience. We recognize that one-size-fits-all solutions don't work in the dynamic tapestry of diversity in Turtle Island (Canada). This guide is your compass to navigate youth services successfully.
