Youth Are Awesome is a program of Youth Central.
Youth Central is a charitable, non-profit organization founded in 1992. Our mission is to inspire, engage, and celebrate youth through community participation. Through our different programs, Youth Central offers volunteer and leadership opportunities to youth aged 12 – 18. Our goal as an organization is to change the perception of youth in our communities by giving youth the tools and support they need to become engaging, empathetic, and caring citizens with a sense of ownership and responsibility. We support youth in building valuable skills for their future employment, give youth a voice, and grow youth’s understanding of their community. We are building Calgary’s leaders of today and tomorrow.
