Youth Week is Thursday, May 1 to Wednesday, May 7 – an annual week celebrating and encouraging youth engagement. During Youth Week, young people can take part in free events that focus on visual and performance arts, personal development and civic engagement mixed with some fun! In Toronto Centre, stop by the STOMP Urban Dance Competition & Showcase on May 3 for an afternoon of art and performances!

Youth spaces and hubs across Toronto will host numerous free events and workshops in wellness, visual arts, cooking, fashion, dance and sports. Toronto’s first Youth Poet Laureate Shahaddah Jack will launch the inaugural Say It Loud! Poetry Slam while events such as ResilientTOgether, the Branded Youth Entrepreneurship conference and STOMP Urban Dance Competition return.
