Youth Arts Contributors The Toronto Youth Equity Strategy was developed with the contributions of youth involved with youth-led arts groups. The photographs and stories included in this report shed light on some of the complex and diverse experiences of Toronto’s youth. The graphic design and logo of the report was also completed by a youth entrepreneur, running his own social enterprise, Corex Media. More creative contributions can be found on the Toronto Youth Equity Strategy website, including a short film and song (www.toronto.ca/youth). This work demonstrates the wealth of skills and talent many young people possess. The richness of these contributions add further understanding to the completixity of Toronto’s youth most vulnerable to involvement in violence and crime. 4 For more information: www.toronto.ca/youth
Why a Youth Equity Strategy The City of Toronto strives to ensure all youth can equally pursue their hopes, dreams and aspirations free of barriers based on race, gender, economic status and geography, and that all youth have the opportunity to meaningfully contribute to Toronto’s strength, vitality and governance. This vision requires comprehensive and collaborative action on the part of all residents to support positive youth development and equitable access to meaningful opportunities, so that current and future generations of Toronto youth may live, learn and thrive in an age-friendly city. This vision is first made possible by recognising that all youth are complex individuals and express themselves in resilient ways. The Toronto Youth Equity Strategy (TYES) is based on the idea that those youth who are most vulnerable to involvement in serious violence and crime do not have equitable access to the comprehensive supports they need to change their lives for the better. The purpose of this Youth Equity Strategy is to address what the City can do to better serve the needs of this specific population, within its authority to plan, manage, deliver, and advocate. 5
