Next Up Ottawa is part of a national network of leadership programs providing youth with the mentorship, training, inspiration, and connections they need to become embedded in progressive movements across Canada. Join us December 3rd to help us make sure this program continues in our community! Snacks and drinks will be served.
*We welcome and value the contributions that individuals who identify as members of marginalized communities and groups bring, and encourage Indigenous peoples, people of colour, women, queer and/or trans people, single parents, members of ethnic minorities, immigrants, people with disabilities, and all others who face systemic discrimination to join us.*
We'll be serenaded by community poets and musicians, including:
Haneen "Freedom Writer" Al-Hassoun: 18. Palestinian. Spoken Word artist. Uses her art to spread peace and justice, God willing. Haneen is also a member of Next Up's current cohort.
