The CCR Youth Network is thrilled to announce the return of the Youth Action Gathering (YAG)! Taking place in person from September 29 to October 1st in Montréal, QC, this year’s YAG will focus on the theme of:
Embracing Youth Inclusion and Diversity
The YAG brings together immigrant and refugee youth from across Canada to share, learn and together strategize about how to address common challenges. This is a space where newcomer youth across Canada build a community of support that persists even when they go back home.

Support our work and future events!
For over 40 years, the CCR has been working to build a Canada that protects refugees and welcomes newcomers. Your generosity helps make that vision a reality!
The CCR's monthly giving program is an important way to support our work to ensure that refugee and newcomer rights are protected in Canada, including through advocacy and educational work.
Monthly donations are the most efficient way to support our activities all year long!
We would like to warmly thank our sponsors by acknowledging their financial support!
In addition to the Core Team and the CCR staff, we would like to thank our partners for their engagement during the planning of the YAG!
