We are Youth Empowerment Network Toronto or YENToronto (formerly known as TEDxYouth@Toronto). We are an independent organization composed of a passionate high school and young professionals, working collaboratively to build a network of students, speakers, mentors, and institutions to support the growth and development of youth of Greater Toronto Area. We serve students from all over the GTA regardless of their gender, race, sexual orientation, and socio economic status. Our main event, YEN Toronto Summit, will continue to be our annual conference featuring a curated group of local talent sharing their stories and messages. The goal of our events is to start a dialogue of important topics that impact youth today and provide inspiration for our attendees to take action in their communities and their own lives.
