who we are

what we do

Build

We help build a just and sustainable food system by working with Toronto's diverse young communities to find solutions to food insecurity. We then raise awareness of these issues through our social media and through our advocacy work with other food justice organizations.

Mobilize

We mobilize youth to create change through our online network by providing an opportunity for youth to build upon their food activism by becoming a council member, by connecting with youth throughout the city, and by facilitating work with partner organizations.

Engage

We engage youth in food policy work by facilitating  workshops at schools and community groups, by providing youth an opportunity to become community members and attend meetings on local food policy issues, and by providing a platform for youth to share their academic and creative work in a youth food journal.
