**about**_Youth Leading Change_**

The Youth Leading Change program empowers newcomer youth through flexible volunteer placements and dynamic learning opportunities. The program focuses on two key areas**:Skill Building through Volunteering**—hands-on community service driven by youth-selected social issues, and **Learning & Knowledge Sharing**—interactive Action Learning Days and career development sessions.

Youth Leading Change aims to equip youth to make meaningful contributions to their communities while preparing them for future employment and personal growth.
