Impact of 2024 - 2025 PSU Youth Events

All PSU Youth Events stem from findings in the 2023 Youth Challenges Needs Assessment, where refugee youth identified a lack of connection, collaboration, and shared spaces between communities.

In response, PSU designed programs that celebrate leadership, foster dialogue, and strengthen partnerships, creating pathways for youth to connect, learn, and lead together across differences.

“The part of the youth recognition or awards ceremony that resonated with me the most was seeing the genuine joy and pride on everyone's faces. It was inspiring to witness young people being celebrated for their hard work, achievements, and potential. Moments like these remind us of the power of encouragement and recognition in shaping bright futures.”
