The Filipino Canadian Youth Alliance-Ontario/Ugnayan ng Kabataang Pilipino sa Canada is a dynamic group of Filipino Canadian youth and students. Through the guidance of the Philippine Women Centre, they were able to share their experiences and identify common issues such as racism, sexism, exploitation at work, homophobia and their right to education!

They see the urgent need to educate, organize and mobilize Filipino Canadian youth to tackle the issues of their just and genuine settlement and integration in Canada.

Through activity based-workshops, focus groups, film screenings and discussions, they collectively learn from their community's experiences and histories.

They are part of UKPC/FCYA-National, with chapters in British Columbia and Quebec. They are expanding to various universities, colleges, high schools and neighbourhoods, while building alliances with other organizations.

They move to address their issues towards their community's empowerment and genuine development through community mobilizations, research projects, public policy engagement, art and cultural productions, and much more.
