“We want all individuals who hear about International Youth Day to come out and just enjoy themselves, not be afraid to put themselves out there. In reality, people might be different, but most of the time they may be going through similar issues, so why not work together to find a common ground to resolve and understand those issues a little bit better?” says Morris Bornyi, Support Youth Program Coordinator.

“I have learned that by meeting new people and listening to new perspectives, it has opened a door for me to feel comfortable to ask when I might not know something or to speak up because I might have an opinion that others agree with. I have jumped out of my shell and I am not afraid to have a voice because that’s exactly what we encourage everyone to have.”
