This event is first and foremost not a fundraiser – the purpose and goal of the Youth Resilience Walk is to connect the youth of our community with the services and resources to best equip them to navigate a turbulent and ever-changing world. By definition resiliency is defined as “the capacity to withstand and/or recover from difficulties”, and it has been identified for years as an obstacle to youth development and community engagement. Our Youth Board wants to lead the charge in our community by bridging the gap between services and the youth of our community.
