Meet our Youth in Care Leader – Aidan

Hello,

My name is Aidan D. O’Sullivan De Peza.

I am a former Youth in Care and a long-time advocate for those living in and around the care system. Currently, I hold the Youth in Care Leader position at Halton Children’s Aid Society. My job is to help the Society make and enforce changes to improve our youth’s lives. I also intend to bring the voices of our youth and youth across the nation to the attention of the Society. This way, we not only improve, but stay on the cutting edge of bettering the lives of those who have experienced, or are currently experiencing, care. We do this by hosting YouthSAID, an advisory group of youth in or from care, who have experienced the system.
