The 2026 Provincial Youth Outreach Worker (PYOW) Annual Learning Conference marks a milestone event—celebrating 20 years of meaningful youth engagement and community impact across Ontario. 

This year, we will not only celebrate two decades of impact, but also come together to reflect, connect, and strengthen our collective approach to youth engagement. Since its inception in 2006, the PYOW program has empowered young people across the province through relationship-based outreach, culturally responsive practice, and community-driven solutions. As the needs of youth continue to evolve, the PYOW network remains committed to adapting, innovating, and leading.
