Youth To Youth is an educational umbrella program that uses the power of sport and play to inspire youth to reach
their maximum potential. Through Youth To Youth, partnerships are forged between high schools and inner city
elementary schools in High Priority Neighbourhoods. These programs are designed to be responsive to the needs of inner
city students while providing reciprocal benefits for their partnered schools. This is achieved through four different
program streams: Leaders in Action, Academic Tutoring, Recess Play and Outdoor Education. Lead by student leaders,
each Youth To Youth stream shares common goals to: develop life skills; create safe, inclusive places for play; promote
strong leadership; encourage active lifestyles; increase participation within marginalized groups; enhance the
education system; and improve inclusivity and accessibility.
