Snap! is a FREE summer program for youth of colour and Indigenous youth to learn skills, share ideas and gain experiences that will help us to change the world we live in - to end racism and all forms of discrimination and oppression.
We are 'moving to our own beats' because this is a program for youth , by youth, and we believe that we know best what affects us, and how we as youth can - and do – affect change

We are currently looking for youth of colour and Indigenous youth in Montreal to attend our summer program, which takes place from July 28th to August 19th, with a graduation party at the end of August. Some stuff we'll be covering include: police and prisons, youth of colour/Indigenous youth activism, event organizing, public speaking, and so much more... As a participant, you'll get to design your own T-shirt images based on your experiences at Snap!, which we’ll print on to T-shirts for you to take home!
