About the Event


Ruckus! was conceived as a forum for high school youth, educators and community partners across the GTA to be able to mobilize around various anti-oppression and youth issues. Youth Action Network (YAN) was founded by motivated high school students in 1989. Among its many accomplishments, YAN started Youth Week in 1995, an internationally recognized event; and established Ruckus! which is now an award winning anti-oppression and youth activism conference for youth and allies. Ruckus! was first coordinated in 2001 and has been nationally recognized by the Canadian Race Relations Foundation for excellence in the promotion of Anti-Racism and Equity.

As one of Canada’s first youth-led charities, Youth Action Network empowers youth and their allies to take an active role in social change through education, action and resource development. YAN is committed to pioneering meaningful leadership opportunities for youth, supporting grassroots youth-led efforts, and providing resources to youth to help facilitate their initiatives. YAN’s vision is a critically conscious society where youth and their allies are actively engaged in working for social change in their communities.

Sponsorship Package


As a Ruckus! 2016 partner, you will be supporting a vibrant conference in the Toronto youth culture and activism scene and ultimately contribute to its success. Your sponsorship and donations will allow us to access resources, facilitators, venues, materials, guests and the logistics associated with facilitating a quality conference for Toronto youth. Ruckus! offers a range of benefits to our sponsors.

Sponsors will have the opportunity to directly reach youth, community members and organizations from diverse backgrounds and neighbourhoods in addition to thousands more through our website, posters, a live stream of the conference, and other promotional activities.

Ruckus! raises funds on an annual basis from community businesses, generous individuals, institutional funding and arts grants from various levels of government. We highly value the contributions to positive social change our sponsors make every year and offer various incentives by way of showing our appreciation, as well as charitable tax deduction receipts for all donations.

All funds raised for the purposes of the conference are used to offer a high caliber conference that gives Toronto youth access to great resources, excellent speakers and a variety of workshops and facilitators who offer a diverse knowledge base.

Your donations will make a difference in the lives of many youth by providing them with the skills and tools necessary to disrupt an oppressive status-quo. Please see our sponsorship/fundraising package for more details.
