Become a Human Book for Project Connect
Do you live in the Eastern Townships, Gaspésie, or the Laurentians? Do you have a story to share? If your story explores themes of belonging, language, or identity, we would love for you to be part of Project Connect! We welcome voices that reflect the rich diversity of Québec. Project Connect brings young people together to boost their confidence in speaking French and deepen their sense of belonging. As part of this initiative, Y4Y is looking for community members to join our Human Libraries, where visitors “check out” a “Human Book” and discover personal stories, one conversation at a time. All Human Library conversations take place in French, offering a supportive space for both “Books” and “Readers” to practise the language.
Who can apply:
Anyone—of any age or linguistic background—who is comfortable sharing their experiences publicly, in French.
Honorariums are provided.
Deadline: before 12 pm on December 22nd, 2025.

This project is made possible thanks to the support of the Réseau dialogue through the VIF Program, with the financial support of the Government of Canada.

Y4Y’s Community Forum 2026
Y4Y Québec’s Community Forum will bring key stakeholders to the table to bring attention to the issues facing English-speaking youth in Québec. Organizations across Québec are serving the youth community in different ways, employing strategies and creating programs to respond to local realities. These initiatives, and the people who bring them to life, deserve recognition more broadly, as do the issues faced by English-speaking youth in the province of Québec. Y4Y representatives will take the time to present the new services it will be providing, and answer questions about the organizations’ orientations for 2026-27.
