Jer's Vision: Canada's Youth Diversity Initiative

The mission of Jer's Vision: Canada's Youth Diversity Initiative (the Jeremy Dias Foundation) is to support youth who are addressing issues of discrimination in their schools and communities. Discrimination is still a major problem in Canada, and youth are part of the solution. The potential of youth is all too often overlooked, and we want to change that. Jer's Vision seeks to support youth through programs and services that are open to everyone.

Sexual Integrity Advocates

Sexual Integrity Advocates, or SIA, is a group that was started four years ago, not only to promote and encourage the youth to live purely, but to also educate teenagers on sex. Unlike other organizations this group is made up of teenagers that give talks around the city to other teenagers. I’ve had the opportunity to be one a member of this organization and to give presentations of waiting to have sex until marriage. The whole idea behind SIA is to decrease the occurrence of teen pregnancies, give teenagers self-esteem, and build up a more mature and focused community.

Sisters Offering Support

 In 2000, Kelly Hill won a BRICK Award for establishing Sisters Offering Support, an organization in Honolulu, HI. Kelly helps women and teens to escape commercial sexual exploitation through a crisis hotline, peer-counseling and life-skills education. Kelly’s legislative initiatives resulted in two bills being passed into state law that provide support and options for victims of the sex industry.
