Inaugural Year
The first program began to be a platform for young Canadians to ask the questions on HIV- related issues in a space for just that, while developing skills on advocacy.
Beyond a two-day summit, the event is a catalyst for change, reminding youth of the power and agency they have, especially as a collective, to advocate for meaningful change. I am honoured to be a part of the NTTW team!
