At the beginning of the program, youth will identify issues in their community that they would like to see changed. Over the course of the program, youth will work towards addressing the issue by contacting and working with community leaders, MP, MPPs, and other relevant decision makers. Youth will also mobilize on the issue by creating awareness through several media outlets. The process of initiating such a change will be an empowering and educating experience for the youth who participate in Investing for Tomorrow.

women overcome barriers that
stand between them and these
life-saving tests. Through
partnerships with local
screening facilities and

helps women in Peel lead
healthier lives.
