GO Local is an exciting program that targets local young people in underserved communities to act as agents of change who can, and will, make a difference in their own neighbourhoods. GO Local gives students a chance to learn about their own community’s issues while developing leadership skills through specialized programs.
This inspiring program encourages youth to make local actions that will help break barriers and improve their own lives and the communities around them. Gang violence, poverty and drug abuse are on the rise in cities, especially with young people living in communities in need. Youth have long been identified as key to building healthy, safe and dynamic communities. Free The Children has seen first-hand the power young people have to make a difference, no matter what their circumstances may be.
By participating in this program, students become leaders in their school and community, creating and enjoying stronger, safer spaces, and gaining valuable skills for success.
The GO Local program is delivered by Free The Children with the generous support of the RBC Royal Bank.
GO Local is a leadership program that mobilizes youth to become agents of change within their local communities. It engages schools in priority neighbourhoods, educating students about social justice and community development issues. Students learn the impact of breaking barriers and creating a positive impact in their own backyards.
