Georgian Bay Youth Roots
Youth are important to BVO, and we want to make sure that young people have a voice.
BVO partners with Georgian Bay Youth Roots (GBYR), an organization committed to encouraging all youth to become healthy, safe, hopeful, engaged, educated and contributing members of The Town of The Blue Mountains and the Municipality of Meaford. GBYR creates connections and partnerships between youth and community so that so that youth have opportunities to lead, develope and thrive.
Youth Roots meets monthly in-person and virtually. Groups of youth and adults gather to talk about opportunities for youth in the community. If meetings are not your thing, there are other ways to become involved. Connect with us and we will keep you informed about meetings and other opportunities.
Youth Roots is looking for participants in the community. Have your voice heard! Help ensure our community is meeting the needs of all youth.
