Willow Youth Network is an organization run by young leaders for young leaders.
We are a registered non-profit that is built for anyone: cis and trans women and men, non-binary and gender-non-conforming folx, and any person who is comfortable in a space that centres around the experiences of identifying as a leader in promoting gender equity.
Through diverse mediums, we aim to educate and create discussion surrounding current societal themes for young individuals. We aim to foster a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space to learn and engage together.
Our programming is constantly changing and evolving.
Our focuses are on youth engagement, discussion-based learning, independent growth and development, self-esteem, mental and physical wellness, and equipping ourselves with tools to become change-makers in life.
We focus on many topics, including gender barriers, self-care, global relations, media and advertising, the environment, mental well-being, gender diversity in STEM, empowerment and pride, and much more.
Our Vision
Willow Youth Network wishes to build a network of youth who practice intersectionality and anti-oppression in their leadership as they build a better world. Just like a willow tree has strong roots that thrive in challenging environments, we would like to build a foundation that youth can rely on to navigate learning about the world and themselves.
