The Gap
Progressive research across Canada continues to shape policies and drive system-level change for youth. Yet, without accessible channels to share this work, many young people remain unaware of the initiatives that directly affect their lives. This disconnect limits both awareness and youth involvement in shaping solutions.

Our Mission
This hub empowers youth to engage with Canadian research initiatives led by university students nationally and provides pathways for active participation. At the same time, it fosters collaboration among researchers leading youth-focused projects in health and wellbeing, cultural safety, climate change, housing and employment, and emerging technologies as a few areas. Together, we bridge research and youth engagement to create impact that resonates beyond institutions.
