What is AVNU?AVNU is where young people can learn the ins and outs of creating community projects and/or becoming self-employed artists and entrepreneurs. Programming is offered by nine local organizations, each providing a variety of alternative learning opportunities, access to resources and mentorship, and opportunities to connect.Why AVNU?AVNU came out of an identified need to provide free education for youth who are invested in the pursuit of improving their communities. There were several organizations that were providing workshops and training for young people who were creating and delivering community projects, but not in a coordinated and cohesive way. There was a need for organizations that were providing this type of grassroots training the connect better, increase access to learning opportunities, reduce duplication, and fill the gaps in programming.Who is AVNU?AVNU is made up of nine partnering organizations serving youth throughout the Greater Toronto AreaArtReach | Grassroots Youth Collaborative | For Youth Initiative | Manifesto | Neighbourhood Arts Network | NIA Centre for the Arts | Schools Without Borders | SKETCH | Toronto Youth Cabinet
