Our Shining Stories are the real stories of some of the wonderful young people we support.
At EveryYouth, we believe that every young person should have the space to share and reflect their unique perspective on life. That’s why it is important that we collaboratively work with the young person to write their story.
This gives them the ability to talk about their incredible achievements, celebrate themselves and illustrate EveryYouth’s work using their voice.
