YOUTH SYMPOSIUM 2010---TORONTO CANADA

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Hello:
High Risk youths are defined as between the ages of twelve (12) and twenty-one (21), who are court involved, truant, gang-involved, a chronic substance abuser, homeless, pregnant or a parent. Not to mention prime candidates for the street gangs.

Growing up is challenging work for all young people. However, some of our youth must overcome almost insurmountable obstacles including violence, drugs, having children, difficulty with parents, homelessness, struggling in school or dropping out, joblessness, unemployment, etc. These youth at high risk need our help to become all they were meant to be. So in keeping this in mind I am organizing a (first ever) Youth Symposium to be held early in 2010 in Toronto. I am asking that high risk youths who fit the description above please make an effort to attend this huge event. It's for you. A life time opportunity to get the help you need and to turn your lives around for the better. However, I cannot do this alone. Though I have support from councillors who have offered to come as guest speakers including celebrities and even once high risk youths who have turned their lives around to address the youths, I will need to form a Youth Symposium committee. I want this to be the biggest youth gathering for a great cause, ever to hit Toronto. Out reach organizations will have an opportunity to showcase what they can offer as well. These organizations do an excellent job in getting at risk youths off the streets. But more needs to be done. I encourage all groups to come with their pamphlets, brochures, leaflets', booklets etc.., that these youths can consider. Rather than a high risk youth looking for one of these organizations, we come to them, by having an event such as this.
So please, help me in organizing this important and meaningful event.
Anyone interested, please contact:
Gary Nickerson at either:
somagar@rogers.com
(cell) 416 816-5861
(H) 905 828-5771

A websight is schedule to be created once we have the committee in place.

thank you.

Gary
