Engage youth in the work of PWRDF, and listen to our Youth Council podcast

Welcome to the justgeneration

Across Canada, hundreds of young people volunteer to promote and support the work of PWRDF in their churches and communities through the justgeneration youth movement. This is a network of youth that supports and promotes the work of PWRDF by engaging more young people in Canada.

Young people have the power create positive social change and our goal is to to develop opportunities for you to engage with issues of justice – both nationally and internationally – in ways that resonate with your identity as a Christian.

Contact your Diocesan Representative or your Youth Council Representative to get support for promoting PWRDF in your community or church, in whatever way your creativity leads you! Whether your goal is to raise money or awareness, we want to hear what you’re up to and help out in any way we can.

For more information please contact our Youth Engagement Coordinator Su McLeod.

This first edition of Social Justice inFocus centres on Climate Action and Climate Justice and is designed for 12- to 17-year-olds who are interested in climate justice, development, education and theology. This resource has been designed to provide individuals or groups of young people with a jumping-off point into the realm of sustainable development and eco-theology.

Through this resource, youth will learn about the intersection between social justice and faith, and how that can guide us into action. With the encouraged involvement of local experts, guest writers and members of the PWRDF Youth Council, this carefully constructed resource provides an opportunity for youth to explore Climate Justice in-depth and learn how to take action in their community and across the country.

Given the realities of our world today, climate justice is something we as a youth council believe is one of the most vital to address as we move into the future. Using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) as a focal point, Social Justice inFocus strives to inspire young Anglicans to bring action-based change to their own communities, amplify their voices, and empower them to work towards a more healthy, just and peaceful world for all.
