Aderinsola (Ade) Aiyedogbon,
Program Manager
In my opinion, any problem/need can be solved with great planning and teamwork. This has led me to become a social change champion, community mobilizer, advocate, and development specialist who has dedicated her career to increasing the capacity for marginalized, racialized, and at-risk communities.
I have over a decade of experience in People Management, Project Management, Education, and Counselling, with a strong background in Information Technology.
As an immigrant, I am passionate about assisting newcomers in successfully transitioning into jobs that match their own skills, capabilities, and interests. I believe that investing in youth specifically is an opportunity to invest in our future, therefore we amplify their voices and ensure their ability to interact with the world around them.
Ade is fluent in both English and Spanish.

Isaiah Phillip
Outreach Worker
Hi my name is Isaiah. I am a staff member of Youth Now on Track Services and share similar goals to other staff members for the youth that we help put in the community.
My main goal is to ensure the children leave ynot with not only an understanding for values and goals they should set for themselves in life but to also ensure that every piece of advice I give them sticks with them not only for their time at Ynot but there future endeavours.
In my private life I am a designer and someone who loves my culture.I am also a person who loves children and loves to get children to show of there talents as much as they can as i am a holder of many talents because you never know where your talents can take you. It is an honour to be apart of this organization and somethings that I could never take for granted.
