Empowering Youth Strategy

The 2025-2027 Empowering Youth Strategy was developed through collaboration with the Brantford Youth Council, as well as engagement with local youth groups, advocates and youth-serving agencies. Supporting the development of the youth strategy is a collective endeavor from both the community and staff across various City departments who work hard every day to make Brantford a great place for youth.

Over this three-year period, the City of Brantford will continue to work collaboratively with partners, organizations and community groups to implement the strategy through the following initiatives:

  • Launch of a Youth Healthy Relationships Campaign
  • Youth Mental Health Resource Fair
  • Expansion of the Youth Engagement Series
  • Envisioning the Future: Indigenous Youth Consultation Project
  • Co-designing cultural and recreational programs with youth in connection with the Inclusive Community Plan
  • Increase youth participation in City-supported leadership programs
