Some #WednesdayWisdom courtesy of our 2019 Success Planners from @thekarlynpercilcollection: “Don’t knit-pick your dreams & goals. Just go for it! Don’t get caught up on the idealism and perfection of it all. Just go for it, do it and grow in the process.” We are so grateful for the funding from @risingyouthtig that made sure each of our #SMARTSTART19 Delegates and Ambassadors went home with their very own @karlynpercil Success Planner! #differentisdope #ylacmentality #LeadersToday #RisingYouth #JeunesEnAction #sistertalk #mindset #goals #selflove #youthempowerment https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxffs1flaj-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sy1mkqz6s718

What would it take to make Ottawa a more youthful city? A more playful city? A more inventive city? More dynamic? More open? Connected? Curious? Let’s create spaces for Ottawa’s young leaders to tell us. Thank you @synapcity, @youth_ottawa and @ccmwnational for joining forces with us. We had a blast! #forusbyus #youthfulcitiesindex #wwit #ylacmentality #bethechange (at Ottawa City Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkKGYFFXoE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i2kz1n1gx5re

We know it’s a snow day for high school post-secondary students in the National Capital Region. And we know y’all are probably trying to sleep in; but #dontsleeponthis! Applications for #SMARTSTART19 are only open a little while longer, and you’ll want to lock down your spot! If you’re 13-24, apply today {link in bio}. https://smartstartsummit.weebly.com/ #ylacevents #ylacmentality #bhottawa #nationalcapitalregion (at Région de la capitale nationale (Canada)) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1d8YylmD0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o5o5ss26yun2

YEAR 2 (2018) of the Young Leaders Advisory Council (YLAC) has been a phenomenal year of opportunity, learning and growth. Still a baby, we continue to gain our legs day by day. At our recent Annual General Meeting we began to map out our plans for 2019, and we cannot wait to spread the #ylacmentality with even more #youngleaders in the new year! Happy Holidays! #leaders #BIPOC #youthofcolour #whereleaderscometogrow (at University of Ottawa - Faculty of Social Science Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brn7Sxflf_l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4xu5gf7s7g9t

#tbt Last week marked the end of an era! It was the last day for our summer student @danet.tsehaye with the @weareylac squad. One of the greatest parts of creating spaces for young people and cultivating their growth is seeing where they take it; and Danet is definitely one to watch! And of course we celebrated with @sqdoughnuts! #youthempowerment #ylacmentality #summergrind (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn9jm69Hj3u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yu91y6ay7i7g
