Hello, my name is Drayton and I am a Health Sciences student at the University of Ottawa. I decided to start this organization because I felt that we, as youth, can achieve so much if we had the right push, support, and environment. This is why I want to use the power of positivity, something that has changed my life completely, to help other young people realize their full potential. As someone who loves finding creative ways to overcome problems, and who deeply sympathizes with others' pains, I hold this cause to heart. Hopefully with your help, I will be able to make this world a little more positive and better for the future generations.

Hi, my name is Malika Yoh and I’m the Chief Operating Officer. I am pursuing a Master of Labour/Industrial Relations & Labour Law at the University of Montreal. I am very glad to be a part of this organization because I believe that when one is optimistic, their views on a situation opens up and new possibilities that they had not thought of before arise. Despite the fact that we all face adversity, helping others develop a positive mindset can guide them to see the best in life. My happiness does, in fact, come as a result of doing good things. It is thus a win-win situation for me to be a part of an organization that aims to promote positivity among youth to help them reach their full potential.

Although youth are often referred to as the future of this world, they’re often overlooked as being someone who could change the world even though they’re young. I’m so happy to be apart of this organization as they’re whole mission is to change that perspective: to show that youth, the leaders of tomorrow, can change the world and have an impact even though they’re young. I hope to help this organization to inspire youth to live today for a better tomorrow

Hey, this is Silas. Ever since I was little, my mind was always fascinated with creating things. It started with dancing, then comic books, then movie clips, and eventually went to animation. I want to eventually turn it into a career, but for now I just do side projects. This is why I am happy and excited to be taking part of 20today20tomorrow as their graphic designer.

Hello! I'm Emmanuel, and I'm a Criminology student at the University of Ottawa. I'm a firm believer that community involvement is crucial for the growth and well-being of our city, especially when it comes to empowering young people. As someone who understands that community is a full circle concept, I know that it requires its members to give back in order for it to continuously grow. That's why I'm proud to be a member of 20today20tomorrow, an organization that not only values the voices and ideas of youth, but also recognizes the importance of community collaboration in creating positive change.

Hi! My name is Natalie and I am a Political Science and Juris Doctor student at the university of Ottawa! I am really excited to join the team as a Youth Outreach Officer as I believe a lot of people are not presented with the help available to them. According to the Mental Health Commission of Canada, only 1/5 children receive suitable mental health assistance[1]. By taking part in this project, I aim to equip the youth with appropriate support and services to identify and treat anything that prevents them from reaching their full self.

Hi, my name is Sophia! I study biomedical science at the University of Ottawa and help run a science education club called SciSection Ottawa. I am passionate about making sure students have access to support and inclusive opportunities on and off campus. To me, it's important to remember that we all have the power to help others, and that even the smallest action can impact people.

Hey, my name is Amy! I’m extremely excited to join the team as the Discord Manager! I attend Wilfried Laurier University majoring in Youth and Children studies with a minor in Psychology. Assisting others with their problems and mental health has been a passion of mine for many years. I believe it is important for people to know that there is someone who cares for them even if they think differently. It can be hard for someone accept that they need help, but that is the first step to improve their mental health. Everyone deserves happiness and this awesome team will strive to provide that!

Hello wonderful humans,
My name is Nefissa Bedri. I’m a writer, a poet, a reader and an artist. I love enjoying the little moments in life and cherishing the little things. I’m originally from Ethiopia. I’m a second year Health Sciences student in the university of Ottawa. Growing up mental health wasn’t something I heard about a lot as it wasn’t something openly discussed in my country. People were too focused on all the problems outside their bodies that they never actually focused on how it made them feel or how it impacted the way they saw the world. They believed that as long as your physical state was alright you were good to go. I see people struggle with mental health all the time and I struggle with it as well to understand enough that it was a critical part of our well being. We can’t excel in other parts of our life without our mental health being in its best state. To me, mental health is important because if I’m not okay with who I am and how I perceive the world, I would not be of much help to the world around me.

My background in design enabled me to create a wonderful and pleasing space by putting into practice what I’ve been taught. I’ve always wanted to venture out and do something different other than commercial and residential design, this project gave me the opportunity to try set design. It is now a project that I can proudly add to my portfolio.
