Every young person has a story to tell, a spark of creativity, and a unique perspective to share. That’s the idea behind the Youth Empowerment Book—a project designed to inspire and celebrate youth from Bradford and East Gwillimbury, no matter their skill level or experience.
What Makes the Youth Empowerment Book Special?
This project is about more than showcasing talent; it’s about creating a space where all youth feel welcome and valued. Whether your child loves to write, draw, take photos, or try something completely new, this is their chance to express themselves and be part of something meaningful.
The Empowering Youth to Share Their Stories Guide was created to make the process fun and accessible for everyone. Packed with activities, ideas, and simple instructions, it encourages youth to explore their creativity while building confidence and reflecting on their experiences.
No Experts Needed—Just Enthusiasm!
One of the most beautiful things about this project is that it’s for EVERY youth. You don’t need to be a skilled writer or artist to participate. This is for the doodlers, the dreamers, and anyone brave enough to share their perspective.
What Can Youth Submit?
Stories or Poems: Personal reflections, short stories, or creative writing.
Artwork or Photos: Drawings, paintings, or creative snapshots.

No idea is too small—every submission matters and helps build a sense of community.
