Our Story
Youth In Motion began as a grassroots, Ontario based non-profit organization in 1997 and, after requests from all provinces for program expansion, the organization quickly grew to become a national charitable organization in 2002.
With offices in Toronto and Calgary, our purpose is to develop and implement dynamic programs for youth.
Youth In Motion founder, Akela Peoples had a vision to create some engaging, inspiring and educational programs for youth to assist them in choosing a rewarding career path. Akela’s personal goal was, and still is, to help youth understand the strong correlation between having a job that you love and being happy and fulfilled each day!
In order to launch her vision, she enlisted the creativity and unique skills of colleague Russ White who was co-incidentally retiring from a long and successful leadership career in education. The two believe in thinking big and setting stretch goals.
And so an organization was born.
