The Youth Impact Survey has been extended to June 7!

The Children and Youth Planning Table is close to reaching its goal of 2,000 youth respondents and needs to hear from 455 more youth.

They're especially looking to hear from:
• Youth ages 9–15
• Youth living in North Dumfries and Wellesley

The survey is open to all youth ages 9–18 and takes approximately 20–30 minutes to complete. Participation is anonymous and confidential.

Participants can:
• Earn volunteer hours
• Be entered to win one of nearly 50 prizes

Visit https://youthimpactsurvey.ca/ to participate.

This study has been reviewed and received ethics clearance through the University of Waterloo Research Ethics Board.

June marks the beginning of Pride Season.

Even as we celebrate joy, love, and resilience, we recognize that 2SLGBTQI+ communities still face discrimination and inequities that must be addressed.

2SLGBTQI+ people are also disproportionately affected by mental health challenges.

United Way Waterloo Region supports initiatives that foster inclusion, reduce barriers, and strengthen community supports. We envision a country where everyone can live authentically and without fear.

Yesterday’s Menstrual Hygiene Day event was a powerful reminder of what community can accomplish together.

With more than 30 people in attendance, we collected 255 packages of menstrual hygiene products to support the Period Equity Project - Kitchener/ Waterloo/ Cambridge, Cambridge Food Bank, and The Food Bank of Waterloo Region.

Thank you to our incredible speakers, committee members, donors, and community partners for helping make this event such a success.

Locally, Period Promise is a partnership between United Way Waterloo Region and the Waterloo Regional Labour Council, working to reduce period poverty in our community.
