YouSpoken- A Youth Led Initiative
YouSpoken is an initiative that grew out of the passion of one of the youth here at CTW Markham who has a story to share!
“YouSpoken is a youth group that focuses on highlighting the 
stories of young individuals in our local community. Through
telling the stories of teenagers around us, we foster the
acknowledgment of issues, promote an inclusive community for
healing, and allow youth to express themselves in the means of
speech, artwork, and writing. As YouSpoken is a grassroots
organization, we have recently received funding from the Town
of Whitchurch-Stouffville & LaidLaw, in addition to the
tremendous support from Volunteer Markham. Some of our
upcoming events include the YouSpoken Kick-Off, A Focus on
Mental Health and Racism, and YouSpoken Speaker Series! We
are also excited to be releasing our blog and website shortly!
We are currently in need of active, passionate volunteers in the community, who are interested in activism through story-telling. Whether your talents lie in digital marketing, writing, organizing budgets & events, or general volunteer tasks, please contact us via email or through the google form attached below! For high school students, we can provide you with volunteer hours and subcommittee executive positions. However, please keep in mind volunteering with YouSpoken does not place bias against age. We welcome all to take on roles of leadership and to spread our message.” Thivya
