	Hi there, I've been on the list for a while but I haven't introduced myself yet so here goes... and thanks in advance for this opportunity to connect with y'all. My name is Jenny Katz and I work at Turning Point Youth Services. I'm in the counselling department and I work primarily with youth involved with the criminal justice system as well as their families. I also run a group for young women who have experienced violence. In December of last year, in an effort to find out how, and what others were doing related to the gun violence in Toronto, a meeting was called and 50 people came from across the city. We have continued to meet in different constellations for * support * sharing program ideas * learning from each other re: our areas of specialization * updates as to what is going on in different parts of the city and now, have started to talk about cross-sectoral program development. At this point, we still called "the network". We are from all different agencies and organizations that serve youth, we focus on issues related to racism and the unequal distribution of wealth in the city. We also attempt to be holistic in what we do and how we do it (mind, body and spirit). The network is still in its infancy, however also exists in the form of internet communication - where we share job postings, opportunities, events, trainings, questions, ideas and discussion related to youth and youth programming. If you're interested in learning more about the network feel free to give me a call or an email.

I'm proposing Thursday, July 27th for our next get-together. The theme for the evening will be Volunteer and Alumni networks - have you got one? Is it useful? How did it come about?

Please let me know if you plan on attending the Youth Juicer on July 27th! If you're interested, YCI is also going to be hosting a OCIC networking breakfast on July 20th.
