Social Justice Youth Camp
Our sixth annual camp is an opportunity for youth (ages 14-19) to learn how to engage in social change work in the world – how they can make a difference. Lots of games and dynamic activities mixed with politics and action. Join youth from all over Atlantic Canada to discuss strategies against racism, make videos and zines, build alliances, and have a whole lot of fun! A diverse team of young adults from the region who actively live their lives working for social change will facilitate the camp.
