One of the achievements of the 2023-2024 YouthOrganize program is the Coming Home anthology, which “focuses on the exploration of self-discovery, centering on the journey of personal growth.” 36 youth in the Peel and Halton Regions contributed art and stories that share their 2SLGBTQ+ experiences. This is the culmination of many months of community engagement work by the YouthOrganize team, which consists of 2 staff facilitators and a 6-member Advisory Committee.

Local artist Pardis Pahlavanlu created the front and back covers, as well as the inner spreads. Check out her work here: https://www.pardispahlavanlu.com/
