as a part of ontario’s youth action plan, youthrex is a province-wide initiative based at york university with five regional hubs across ontario that promote the integration of research evidence and evaluation in the development and delivery of ontario’s programs.
“youthrex is a dynamic and evolving initiative that supports positive youth development included in ontario’s evidence-based strategic framework, stepping up, which identifies seven themes of well-being,” said sarah baum, youthrex northwestern regional hub manager.
the youthrex regional hubs will engage grassroots organizations that serve youth, academic partners, youth and policy stakeholders for capacity-building, knowledge mobilization, and research and evaluation opportunities.
