YOUTH TAKING ACTION!


Youth Taking Action: A Rights Awareness Video Making Project for Youth in Care

Youth Taking Action is an initiative led by SCY in partnership with the Canadian Red Cross RespectED: Violence and Abuse Prevention program and the BC Institute Against Family Violence.  The focus of the initiative is to engage youth who are currently living in care or have experience living in care, and/or conflict with the law, in a video making to raise awareness of the rights of youth living in care. The project aims to actively involve youth in rights promotion in creating short films as resource for youth in BC to prevent child rights violations of youth in care.
