Check Your Head (CYH) is a youth driven organization located in Vancouver. CYH educates young people on global issues, by looking at the connection between global events and issues and local realities.Check Your Head provides education, resources, training and support for youth, who then facilitate workshops, organize events and coordinate projects promoting education and action around issues of globalization and social justice. We provide a forum where youth can learn about ideas and debate issues like sweatshops, international trade, corporate power and responsibility and many others.Through our workshops, projects and special events, we are becoming a portal of possibility young people working for positive progressive change and working for more say in what happens in our communities. CYH workshops provide education on various globalization issues and our projects and special events allow for more in depth discussion of various ideas and an examination of concrete action that can be taken to help build a better world.
