Our Work
SCY’s unique programs and initiatives put our mission into action. From ongoing programming to one-time projects, our work is guided by child and youth voices and puts the advancement of children’s rights at the forefront every step of the way.
⚖️ Child and Youth Legal Centre
The Legal Centre provides free legal support for young people who are experiencing problems relating to family law, child protection, a breach of human rights and many other legal issues.
🛝 Child and Youth Friendly Communities Program
The aims of the CYFC program are to support youth in becoming active participants in the development of their communities, and to ensure local governance decision making and city planning includes youth input.
🇺🇳 Child Rights Public Awareness
Knowledge of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and children’s rights generally, is lacking at all levels of our society – government, community, families, and children and youth themselves. Our campaign aims to turn this around through a variety of community and youth engagement activities including workshops and events, networking, and the creation and dissemination of child rights resources across the province.
