We believe that youth engagement and youth-adult partnership can drastically change a young person s life. Research has shown that young people who are engaged in meaningful activities, not only build skills, but broaden their understanding of issues, develop new perspectives and gain valuable experiences. Such opportunities not only create beneficial health and social outcomes for the young person, but impact their family, peers and/or social group. With supportive adult allies, youth are better enabled to initiate change in their communities, their schools, and beyond. Using our knowledge of youth engagement and guided by our Four Pillars: Respect, Listen, Understand and Communicate, we have been able to encourage and sustain partnerships between youth and organizations as we all move forward. #>?&@AB?C@D*EFFGDDGECHIDJEACB?BGC"KK"HG@>IFGDDGEC@E>?LM NEACOM?EML?MA@@>?GPGB?IDJEPGFMPEQGCO@>?FD?LQ?DR@>?GP SEFFACG@G?DICB@>?GPHEPLBGC@EIS@GEC59?HEPTHG@>NEACOM?EML?R NEA@>D?PQGS?MPEQGB?PDRP?D?IPS>?PDICBMELGSNFIT?PD@E?CDAP?@>I@ NEACOM?EML?UDQEGS?DIP?>?IPBICB@>?GPGB?IDIP?P?ILGV?B5#>GD >IMM?CD@>PEAO>SECJ?P?CS?DRL?IB?PD>GMEMMEP@ACG@G?DR@PIGCGCODR EQ?P@>?MID@N?IPH?JESAD?BEAP?JJEP@DECMPEQGBGCOEMMEP@ACG@G?DJEP NEA@>RGCJLA?CSGCO@>ED?H>EGCJLA?CS?NEA@>RICBMLICCGCOJEP@>?

3 >IDP?S?GQ?BEQ?P"4R444QG?HD I just wanted to write a quick note to thank you all for the part you played in supporting, organizing, entertaining, looking out for, teaching, and empowering the little group of Fort Good Hope youth who had the chance to come to Ottawa for the conference. I want to assure you (though I'm sure you know) that it was an extremely meaningful experience for all us. The whole trip back (and quite the trip it was) their excitement was very evident: at the new friends they had made as well as the new possibilities for action and thought they had had presented to them. They were inspired. I'm so grateful that we had this opportunity, and I know, as was the case with the youth who attended Unite & Ignite last year, that the effects of this week will be long lasting and significant. Thank you so much for all your hard work in making it happen ~ Adult Ally I felt that I really mattered in this conference and I felt good about myself coming. ~ Youth Participant I feel like I have more confidence in myself and I feel like I got a lot to share with my friends/family ~ Youth Participant I felt that we grew together as a family. By the last day we respected each other and learned about each other. From the different sessions and activities today, we learned how to move forward in making a positive change ~ Young Adult Facilitator Z

Y2K has built relationships, solidified partnerships and created an environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected and heard.
