We do this in a variety of formats so young people can access information in a way they are comfortable with. It is our hope that the information we provide will enable them to: –Make informed decisions and choices –Turn their ideas into action –Take advantage of the opportunities available to them –Have the confidence and knowledge to take their place as active citizens in their communities- locally, nationally and globally.
