OAYPA Policy Brief 2024

We thrilled to announce the launch of the Ontario Association of Young Parent Agencies Policy Brief 2024. This policy brief is a critical tool that we will use to advocate to government and other provincial partners for increased investments and other supports to our sector to achieve a comprehensive system of services for young parents and their children across the province. This collective voice will send a strong united message to the Ontario government and other provincial partners that the members of the Ontario Association of Young Parent Agencies are working effectively and efficiently to improve the outcomes of young families across the province.

On April 3rd, 2025, OAYPA hosted a webinar featuring experts, researchers and young parents to review the policy brief and discuss the research driven recommendations.

This featured experts in the field to discuss the challenges young parents face and policy gaps that need urgent attention. Special thanks to our presenters who shared their knowledge and expertise! You can access the slides here and recording here.
