What
is Allied Youth about?
Allied Youth is a an organization that from it's motto
"Increases the awareness
of the issues facing youth today". Attempting to
improve the lives of today's
youth and have those youth positively impact their local
communities and the
world in which they live. We take part in many activities
and lifestyle changing
events which are fun and have positive effects on the
members who take part.
The Prince Edward Island Allied Youth program has three
main issues on
which they focus:
Leadership Development: Teaching
the youth to take charge of their lives and
develop themselves to their full potential. Public
Speaking, Leadership roles, and
mentally developing today's youth into tomorrow's
leaders are the main aims
of the Allied Youth program on Prince Edward Island
Community Involvement: By taking
part in their communities Allied Youth members
help make their communities stronger, healthier and
happier places in which to live.
Activities such as visiting a seniors citizen's
residence, hosting a local beach-bonfire,
taking part in fundraisers or clean-ups which benefit the
communities in which the
youth are based.
Healthy Lifestyle: Allied Youth
are proud innovators in teaching youth the positive benefits of a
healthy lifestyle. PEI AY founded the Peer Education Program which
trains youth (Grades 10-12) to talk to younger students on the
importance of the issues surrounding the drug and alcohol choices that
many of today's young people face on a daily basis.
