Event Details

The Skills Exchange is an event unique to Net Change Week.  Designed to show how interactive agencies can work with non-profits to solve a “wicked problem,” the outcomes are meant to lift these organizations to the next level.  On May 25th, three of Canada’s most talented interactive agencies were paired with three organizations.  The teams have two weeks to come up with a solution for the organizations that will be presented at MaRS on Friday, June 12th.

Join us for this exciting presentation that will also bring a close to the Net Change week.  A reception to follow.  Registration is free, but space is limited!

GYC is a collective of culturally and racially diverse youth-led organizations that work in underserved, lower-income, at-risk communities where violence, especially youth violence, is regularly in the media spotlight. The programs delivered by GYC members reach out and engage young people who are typically missed by more mainstream youth programming.
