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.

The YouthOrganize team collaborated with Eva’s Phoenix to print these beautiful, 72-page books! Check out their work here.
