What We Do
The Canadian Coalition for YPS (CCYPS) is a network of individuals and organizations working or interested in Youth, Peace and Security with the primary purpose of uplifting each others’ work, advocacy and research. The CCYPS platform fosters a collaborative space for Canadian young people and allies to share and exchange resources and opportunities to better engage in the United Nations’ Youth, Peace and Security Agenda locally, nationally and globally. This is a youth-led network of young people; it does not have any other pre-existing affiliations with other entities.
Although the CCYPS does not segregate its members by age, we define the term 'youth' as individuals who are between 18 and 30 years old.
Our Approach
We work together to bring Youth, Peace and Security to local youth leaders in Canada, and bring their voices to decision-making spaces at home & abroad.
A Domestic Agenda
In Canada, young people often don’t see themselves as peacebuilders. We want to change that! We want to bring the Youth, Peace & Security agenda home by engaging in domestic issues of peace, security & social justice.
A Global Agenda
We work to ensure young people’s roles in peace & security are recognized, respected and amplified, including in international processes and policy spaces. Young people have a role to play in foreign policy!
