Diversity, Equity & Inclusivity
YouthSpeak acknowledges the importance of creating spaces that affirm the lived experiences and identities of people impacted by all forms of oppression. We understand the impact that oppression has on the everyday lives of Women, Black, Indigenous, Racialized people, people with Disabilities, 2SLGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent populations. We aim to create a safer space for students to learn with us. In order to achieve this goal, we are committed to delivering presentations from an equitable and anti-oppressive lens. We will continue to reflect on what this means.

Land Acknowledgement
Youthspeak acknowledges that our workspace resides on the traditional land of Tkaranto, now called Toronto. Tkaranto belongs to and is still home to the Mississaugas of the Credit, Anishnabeg, Chippewa, Haudenosaunee and Wendat peoples. We are grateful to be on this land, made possible by the Dish with One Spoon and the Two-Row Wampum treaties. YouthSpeak is committed to education towards reconciliation and we continue to engage with youth Indigenous communities for our mission of youth mental health empowerment.
