The Forum has just launched its new Ready by 21 Policy Alignment Series, which will provide a set of strategies to ensure that new child and youth policies align with existing efforts in order to create a seamless system of supports.

This introductory PowerPoint will help new users use the Youth Councils Online Toolkit. For information on how to obtain a username and password, please contact Danielle Evennou at danielle@forumfyi.org.
