Tamarack Institute’s Communities Building Youth Futures (CBYF) is an initiative funded by the Government of Canada that seeks to reduce barriers to education for youth across the country. Using case studies from three CBYF communities, this article explores the meaningful and wide-ranging impacts of putting youth at the centre of decision-making efforts. CBYF utilizes a collective impact approach, which empowers community leaders to create and implement strategies that respond to specific challenges of youth in their communities. Together, these diverse collaborators carry out initiatives that create community and systems change to support youth in overcoming multiple barriers in their learning journey from high school to post-secondary, training, or employment.
