Fresh Voices

Fresh Voices is active in public engagement, research, and partnership work that improves the experience of newcomer youth in B.C. We are a group of young immigrants and refugees who work with our partners to make sure we are heard on the issues that affect us. Together, the outcomes we seek to influence are- Improved policies and practices that affect racialized immigrant and refugee youths’ sense of belonging in British Columbia and Canada as a whole-Newcomer youth have more voice and influence in planning and decision-making processes that affect their lives. Much of our work today is based on sixteen key recommendations from a series of consultations and forums with immigrant and refugee youth across B.C.
