Another year has passed and we continue to attract thousands of youth to our annual events. With the support of our sponsors and volunteers we have been able to host a variety of activities that connect our young people to their community. We are excited about our 2011 special events and contests.

Community Village is a featured opportunity on YouthFest Day, where over 35 community agencies host booths to provide information for volunteer opportunities, connecting our energetic youth to meaningful volunteer experiences.

The Burlington Youth Advisory Action Group (YAAG) is well represented by students from high schools who work with the YouthFest Committee. It serves as an organizational structure to provide opportunities for leadership development, community service and social events for Burlington teens.

Our Burlington youth are tomorrow's leaders, knowledge workers, teachers, public servants, inventors, explorers and parents. The experiences that help to form them as young adults will guide their actions throughout their lives.

Angela Arnone Marlatt and her Steering Committee Volunteers are extremely grateful for the support of the YouthFest partners City of Burlington, Halton Catholic District School Board, Halton District School Board, Halton Police, Corporate Sponsors, Community Agencies, and of course our student volunteers.
