Serve! Engaging Youth for Change

Experience This! Podcast

This podcast was a collaborative youth project to both understand and express some of the issues of gendered violence.

Tie Your Shoe With a White Ribbon: walking the line between love and hate.

For 6 months the Experience This! team worked with Tuval Dinner from the White Ribbon Campaign to learn about and express themselves on the important issue of violence against women. The project looked at violence, gender, and healthy relationships.

To capture part of this experience Paul Baines from GlobalAware Independent Media worked with this patient and lively group of young people.

This podcast has several parts: a radio play, statistics about gendered violence, interviews with men and women, and information for guys to take action on self-awareness and anti-violence.

Tyler Stewart of Barenaked Ladies speaks about Serve!
(requires quicktime)

When I started at Serve Canada, I was 21 years old, had never had a full-time job for longer than two months and was a year and a half clean from a crippling heroin addiction which I allowed to rob me of the opportunities every youth has when they are in high school. In the program, my personality came out for the first time. I discovered my natural leadership abilities but I also learned about the difference one person can make.
Sarah, 2003 Experience This! Graduate

We are looking for a few agency partners for weekly community projects for a team of 10 youth (17 to 24 years old) to meet community needs and to build youth civic engagement and skills development. Does your organization/agency have a project that can run once a week from end of January to May 2010? We are mainly looking for projects for Monday or Wednesday afternoons (or possibly a one-time service project on a Friday morning).
