Why Youth Action?

Why get involved?

So often youth in our society are portrayed in a negative way, but Youth Action is all about the positive energy that inspires youth like you to make a difference!

It’s simple. At United Way Ottawa, we encourage you to take action, participate in an event or run projects that will help change people’s lives for the better. With Youth Action, you have a chance for your voice to be heard, to be a part of decisions and to turn your ideas into projects that help other people. Youth Action is about making a difference where we know help is needed the most in our community. So get creative, get involved!
