Youth for Youth Québec
Y4Y Québec is a non-profit organization committed to addressing the issues facing English-speaking youth (ages 16-30) across Québec.
Y4Y's Annual Youth Forum: High Costs, Low Incomes, Uncertain Futures
Join Y4Y’s annual Youth Forum for a day focused on youth voices and the realities of the high cost of living. From housing and food affordability to employment and financial literacy, we’ll explore what young people are experiencing and what needs to change.
If you’re spending most of what you have just to cover the basics, we want to hear from you. Come share your reality, connect with other young people, and speak openly about the challenges you’re facing. Your experiences and ideas can help shape the recommendations that decision-makers need to hear.
Your voice matters!
Save your spot! Spaces are limited.

Youth on Boards: March 27–28, 2027
Want to build your leadership skills and learn what it takes to sit on a nonprofit board?
Youth on Boards is a hands-on training for youth ages 16–30 interested in strengthening their governance, leadership, and decision-making skills.
