Communities Building Youth Futures (CBYF) has an ambitious goal: support youth leaders aged 15-30 across Canada to revolutionize the future of youth education, work, and wellness in their rural, remote and Indigenous communities. CBYF puts young people at the center of decision-making, seeking feedback and advice from diverse youth voices. Instead of focusing on one initiative or practice, CBYF uses collective impact strategies to build transformational, far-reaching networks of support across youth leadership tables, service providers, community organizations, local government, and other community allies.
In the first five years of the initiative (2019-2024), CBYF engaged 70,000 youth across 20 communities to re-imagine pathways to education, secure stable employment, and develop as leaders and mentors in their communities.
