- Position
- Young Persons' Advisory Group Member
YPAG has been a truly unique and rewarding experience for me. Throughout this project, I’ve watched myself grow from someone who was more reserved into someone far more confident and expressive — whether through the art pieces I created or by speaking within the group. Not only have I strengthened my communication skills, but I’ve also formed meaningful connections with the other members, whom I always looked forward to seeing at each workshop. Building these friendships was something I never imagined myself doing, yet by the end of the project, I found myself reaching out to others to hear their thoughts and opinions. I’ve both given and received valuable advice, and YPAG has been a safe, supportive space where I can truly be myself.
