Young Men Leading Change is a community of BIPOC men ages 17-25 coming together from across Ontario to make our communities stronger and safer. We support each other, explore what it means to be a man in Canada, and learn about preventing male violence towards women, non-binary people, and other men.

Meet the team of Youth Facilitators and Adult Allies that anchor Young Men Leading Change.

an evidence-based approach

Young Men Leading Change is the result of many people coming together to support young men to prevent gender-based violence in our communities. Our Community Report summarizes the results of three years of programming in four Ontario cities.
