Whalley Youth Helping Youth Speak Up and Have Their Voices Heard

The Surrey Leadership Youth Council is a group for youth to get meaningfully involved in Social and Community Planning in Surrey. It is a partnership between City of Surrey’s Planning & Development Department and Parks, Recreation & Culture.

What we do:

We meet every second Monday from around 4:00-6:00 at the North Surrey Recreation Centre (10275 - 135 Street) –which is right at the Surrey Central Skytrain Station and bus loop.  Free food and bus tickets at every meeting!

• Every year we organize Youth Speak Up! A forum for youth to talk about how to make the community more youth friendly.
• We help run the youth lounge at the North Surrey Rec Centre.
• We present to City Hall what youth are saying is important to the commu­nity.
• We organize open mic nights and other work­shops at Tom Binnie Youth Centre.
