ELYCA Youth Action Forum and Impact Sharing Aims to Help Edmonton Youth Expand Social Networks

On February 22nd, 2025, the ELYCA (Empowering Leadership in Youth through Community Action) Program of Action for Healthy Communities had an amazing opportunity to host its Youth Action Forum and Impact Sharing event at the Santa Marie Goretti Centre in Edmonton.

The event was attended by a diverse group of community members and youth from equity-deserving groups across the city. Through thought-provoking discussions, group sessions, and a dynamic panel, participants explored topics like cultural identity and diversity, and social issues & systems. Our participants also learned about project sustainability and partnership, and how to apply these concepts in their community projects.

We want to extend our sincere thanks to all who attended, engaged, and shared in meaningful conversations. All our youth participants displayed incredible passion and determination to be active participants and changemakers in our society.

The ELYCA Program is dedicated to providing young people with a platform to turn their ideas into action, empowering them to help build a more inclusive Canada and strengthen youth resilience.
