About BYTE
BYTE is a “by youth, for youth” organization that focuses on empowering and promoting youth throughout the Yukon and the North.
What We Do
Our community outreach team travels to communities throughout the Yukon and to some areas of Northern BC and the Beaufort-Delta region of NWT to deliver innovative and relevant workshops to northern youth.
We host events and conferences that foster creativity and culture.
We invest in protective factors for wellness so young people feel seen, heard, and valued—by creating spaces for identity and expression, fostering supportive relationships, building life and leadership skills, and centering youth voices in an adult-centric world.
Our Vision
We want to create a future where in the North, young people are validated and celebrated for their unique voices and expression in their personal and professional lives. They have a sense of belonging, identity and acceptance within their community and strong relationships with peers and adults; and they have the tools they need to follow their passions and trailblaze change in their communities.
Our Values
Our values guide how we show up, work together, and create positive change for youth and communities across the Yukon and the North.
Youth perspective and voices are the centre of all we do.
We are making a better world by challenging systems and creating new ones.
We meet people where they are at and we see and value the unique skills and strengths of Northern youth.
Showing up genuinely as yourself is the way to make change.
We are always learning and unlearning, we can always do better.
We do what we say and we we will do, we own our mistakes.
Our environment is our home and we must care for it and support it
We believe in the ongoing recognition of Indigenous rights and lands, knowledge, perspectives and experience
Our relationships – with ourselves, with others and our community –are at the core of life
We believe in a fair and equitable division of resources, opportunities and privileges in society
