Against the Current - Virtual!
September 16, 2025
Back by popular demand! Against the Current is returning this fall with a special virtual edition. We’re bringing back key presentations and neighbourhood breakout sessions from the in-person event—offering a second opportunity to explore the themes, questions, and energy that made the day so powerful. Open to all who attended in May and anyone new who wants to join the current.
Sign Up now for Take Our Kids to Work Day 2025, happening on Wednesday, November 5!
This year’s theme, Lift Up the Future, invites young people to explore their career paths while contributing to stronger, more inclusive communities. Join students, families, educators, and workplaces across Canada for a meaningful day of discovery — in person or online.
Event Services
Our team can work with you and your organization to plan, develop, execute and evaluate your entire event. One of our strengths in youth-focused event planning and management is being able to quickly, efficiently, and effectively bring together everything needed to ensure the success of your program.
Workshops
We work with partners and youth to deliver interactive capacity building opportunities for all audiences. Workshops are tailored for audiences based on the content shared.
Conferences
We deliver one to seven day conferences for youth and adult allies. The conferences are geared to generating and influencing community and systems level changes through direct youth recommendations and the development of community action projects.
Sharing the Stories Knowledge Exchanges
An opportunity for youth, adult allies and academics to come together to review the research and trends generated from the Sharing the Stories research and evaluation platform.
Fine-Grain Interactions
The one-to-one or one-to-a-few interactions between youth and/or between youth and adults. These interactions accumulate and can often result in bottom-up changes to policies and programs. We foster these interactions by working with other partners to create organic spaces and places for youth and/or adults to connect with one another. We support weekly youth groups across our network of partners.
