Dialogue with DEBOUT POUR L’ÉCOLE
On September 22, Y4Y Québec brought together diverse perspectives for a bilingual virtual conversation exploring the future of education in Québec and the place of young people in that conversation.
The discussion featured Simon Beaudin, Vice President of Debout pour l’école and Political Analyst at Coalition Interjeunes, and Gaëlle Poirier-Morin, Head of Communications at the Regroupement des organismes communautaires de lutte au décrochage (ROCLD).
From the challenges facing Québec’s education system to the importance of youth voices, the conversation explored key questions, perspectives, and ideas about where education could go next.

Y4Y's Annual Youth Forum: High Costs, Low Incomes, Uncertain Futures
Join Y4Y’s annual Youth Forum for a day focused on youth voices and the realities of the high cost of living. From housing and food affordability to employment and financial literacy, we’ll explore what young people are experiencing and what needs to change.
If you’re spending most of what you have just to cover the basics, we want to hear from you. Come share your reality, connect with other young people, and speak openly about the challenges you’re facing. Your experiences and ideas can help shape the recommendations that decision-makers need to hear.
Your voice matters!

What can we do to help English-speaking youth (ESY) in Québec who face unique challenges in the job market?
Y4Y’s new collaborative research report with the Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT), "Labour Market Experiences of English-speaking Youth”, explores the employment realities of ESY, the barriers they face in Québec’s workforce, and the pathways that lead to better employment futures.
Featuring cross-province youth consultations conducted by Y4Y in 2024–25, the report provides in-depth findings and recommendations based on Census statistics and youth themselves.
“Labour Market Experiences of English-speaking Youth” is available now.
