Some of our work includes creating youth-related policies, implementing programs to improve the development of children, such as parenting programs, supporting (through subsidies) after-school programs that benefit the youth, encouraging meaningful youth participation in our society, and offering opportunities for youth to be better equipped to enter the labour market, etc.
