RESOURCE HUB
Voices of Tomorrow are a youth led group based in Windsor and Essex County who have a strong passion to ensure youth of all abilities get to experience meaningful employment. The project was formed to understand the real problem that most youth face when it comes to finding meaningful employment. The problem is that youth of all abilities often face several barriers and lack the voice to represent what it means to find meaningful employment. To address this problem, the youth leads developed a survey and reached out to all youth, educators and employers through their outreach plan for participation. The survey had 143 RESPONSES from the community. 116 high school students in Windsor-Essex aged 13-21 participated in the survey along with employers and educators.
On June 10th, 2021 a group of siblings presented this series of recommendations to Minister Todd Smith, his chief of staff and other provincial decision-makers from the Provincial Network. The recommendations were prepared by siblings from across Ontario and align with Canada’s federal Youth Policy.
