As one of Canada’s first youth-led charities, Youth Action Network (YAN) empowers youth and their allies to take an active role for social change through education, propeller, and resource development.

Originally founded 25 years ago by a group of passionate high school students, YAN is by youth, for youth, and remains dedicated to a youth-led experience. We empower our young members and their allies to change their communities through meaningful opportunities in a safe, inclusive space, and there are many ways to get involved.

Youth Action Network (YAN) empowers youth and their allies to strengthen communities through education, mobilization and resource development. YAN is committed to pioneering meaningful leadership opportunities in the youth organizing space.

Youth Action Network is a youth-led, national charity committed to strengthening youth engagement through education, resource development and supporting grassroots youth-led efforts.

Youth Action Network’s vision is a critically conscious society where youth and their allies are actively engaged in working for social change in their communities.
