Power4Teens is about building self acceptance, confidence and empowering youth (age 8-17). It is about learning from and understanding this amazing generation and gifting this to parents and beyond. We want to share the success of all generations so we can relate to each other, understand, grow and be empowered. We want to learn from each other and teach kids and adults how to feel BeYOUtiful and PowHERful.

We acknowledge the land we are meeting on is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. This territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.

Today, Toronto is home to many Indigenous people and we recognize their enduring presence and connection to this land. We are grateful for the opportunity to gather on this land, and we commit to respect, honour and support Truth and Reconciliation with Indigenous people, including importance of the 94 Calls to Action.
