CADCA’s Youth Leadership

CADCA gives young people the tools and support to lead change in their communities. Our youth leadership programs follow a youth-led, adult-guided approach, meaning young people take the lead in planning, decision-making and implementation, while adults provide guidance, support, and resources to ensure their success. We focus on building real skills, centering youth voice, and recognizing the strengths and potential of young people.
