Building Holistic, Faith-Grounded, Future-Ready Leaders

At YAYA Canada, our programs are designed to support youth at every stage of their journey; spiritually, emotionally, socially, and professionally.

We don’t offer isolated workshops. We provide a structured ecosystem of growth.

Across Canada, YAYA runs continuous programming that equips young people with mentorship, leadership training, mental health awareness, and a sense of belonging to a community.

Village Council (VC)

“It Takes a Village.”
The Village Council is the heartbeat of YAYA Canada.
Rooted in the belief that youth thrive in community, the Village Council brings together mentors, professionals, spiritual leaders, and peers to collectively guide young people toward purpose and impact.

Mentorship Program (MP)

Guiding Youth From Potential to Purpose
YAYA’s Mentorship Program pairs youth with trained mentors who provide faith-centered, career-conscious, and life-stage guidance.
We recognize that many young people, especially those from newcomer and visible minority backgrounds, lack access to professional and faith-aligned mentorship networks.

Mental Health Awareness (MHA)

Breaking Stigma. Building Strength.
Mental health challenges among youth are rising across Canada, yet stigma remains high, especially within faith and racialized communities.
YAYA addresses this gap through faith-sensitive mental health awareness initiatives.
