Previous Events
YOUth ACT ART SHOW: UNTOLD STORIES
April 2024
Our annual art show celebrated stories that would otherwise remain tucked away somewhere, alien, in a sea of cookie-cutter and easy to digest stories that are fed to us by mainstream media.
Our aim was to create a space that is safe, warm and vibrant for artists to share real stories, untethered from societal expectations and judgements. Focusing on themes of class, gender, race and sexuality, we wish to amplify the voices of those who don’t often get the mic. YOUth ACT curated and hosted a diverse program of artists, crafts, live music and spoken word.
WE ARE NOT REALLY STRANGERS
December 2023
Based on the card game “We’re not really strangers,” we hosted a networking night to enable young people to have critical and reflective conversations 🌍
YOUth ACT hosted a social and educational event for young people to get to meet new people and play this amazingly curated card game by our community team 🙌🏽
Different cards, different topics, different tables, different conversations each 20 minutes, all in a safe space 💜

YOUth ACT's Vision
YOUth Act is a community-based hub for young people who work on social and environmental justice topics as activists, advocates and social entrepreneurs. We aspire to live in a world where young people (under 30) with diverse experiences and backgrounds are empowered to participate in political, social and economic decision-making. In addition to our Starter Pack program, we are realizing this vision through access to critical political and social justice education.
What is Archive?
Archive is YOUth ACT’s primary educational tool. It consists of regularly published content on social media, mainly Instagram, and aims to function as a conversation starter and extender. Archive's topics revolve around societal and evironmental issues, using an intersectional and/or decolonial lense.
