Levels of Government: Youth Advocate

youth advocate: The youth equity champion, who would be appointed in 2015, would promote the strategy in council and other levels of government, a position that has been missing since the citys youth advocate position was eliminated years ago, according to The Star. The committee would help Toronto oversee implementation of the recommendations and identify services, as well as gaps, for youth across all departments and A comprehensive youth violence strategy released by the city Tuesday recommends appointing a councillor to serve as a youth equity champion and the creation of a city-wide committee to combat the problem. The city committee would include a staff representative from every department that serves youth. It is just one of a number of action plans contained in the strategy to help young people who are most vulnerable to violence or at risk of being involved in crime. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
