To find solutions, we must first know the problems.

Who We Are
We, the YTGA social justice advocates, are a group of very passionate individuals determined to bring about awareness of global and local issues through our creative writing, visual art, theatre and spoken word. YTGA also conducts Empowerment Through the Arts workshops on varying themes with other organizations.
Although our nonprofit initiative was born in Mississauga, Canada, in 2006 it has quickly spread. YTGA is now proud to have a new YTGA chapter in Islamabad, Pakistan and UofT Downtown. We aim to be accessible and inclusive to all youth, all over the world!

What We Do
Tired of feeling helpless about the injustices we know are occurring in the world, we decided to write about issues we are passionate about. The articles we have written for this site are thoroughly researched and sourced. Only through awareness of what the problem is, can the solutions come to light, right?
Though this was our beginning, we have expanded to doing theatre performances for other organizations on topics like Child Abuse Awareness, Modern Day Slavery, Power of One, Mental Health Awareness, Human Trafficking, Racism and Immigrants, Youth Suicide Prevention and tons of other important issues!
Make sure to take a moment to check out our Campaigns as well before you leave!

Join Us
This website is a platform for self expression for all youth. If there is a topic you feel strongly about and would like to share it with YTGA readers, just let us know.
