ALL ABOUT SLYE
ROADSHOWS
The Roadshow is a youth outreach initiative that takes place in Toronto (Downtown, York, East York, North York, Etobicoke, and Scarborough) high schools during the spring and fall, and in community spaces (malls, community centres, etc.) throughout the year. The Roadshow consists of a series of outreach events that connect thousands of youth with essential programs and services (health, employment, volunteering, education, recreation, arts, scholarships) being offered in their community.
The Roadshow is led
by youth! Our youth team runs workshops
for hundreds of other youth who connect thousands of their peers to essential services.
To ensure equitable access to services,
the young people organizing and running the Roadshow have diverse experiences and backgrounds.
We meet young people in their space and we engage them in the Roadshow outreach events using games, prizes, food, music, and performances.
We evaluate our initiative using a contracted evaluator to ensure that youth are meaningfully engaging with services and their communities.
