SUYP is free arts-based, youth-driven, empowerment program providing
training in anti-oppression, facilitation, conflict transformation and
community organizing for youth 14 and older; with a particular focus on
engaging Indigenous, (im)migrant, refugee, and “at-risk” communities in
Surrey. The purpose of our programs are to: strengthen the resiliency,
connectedness and life-skills of youth participants; support the exploration
of creative expression; create opportunities for the advancement of
youth-voice; provide youth with tools to take action on creating change in
their communities; and engage the broader community on social issues
impacting the lives of young people.
