Youth Civic Engagement Program(YCEP)
After a successful inaugural cohort in 2024, we’re proud to launch the second cohort of YCEP. This time, we’re taking it a step further—participants from the first cohort are stepping up as leaders, guiding and mentoring the next generation of changemakers. Mentorship is now a core component of the curriculum, ensuring participants gain valuable guidance while building their confidence and civic leadership skills.
Civic engagement is a vital skill for young individuals to feel empowered to advocate for the changes they see necessary in their communities. Women Focus Canada’s Youth Civic Engagement Program (YCEP) is a non-partisan program dedicated to increasing political literacy in youth. Studies show that female youth are less likely to engage in civic activities compared to their male peers. Women Focus Canada is changing that narrative through YCEP designed to inspire and empower young women (aged 15-29) to become active leaders in their communities
