What to Expect

After dinner and a visit to the breakout rooms, guests will be invited to join us in the main auditorium for a time of storytelling and sharing about our various ministries. The evening program will mimic the structure of a live podcast recording. 

Our host is Donnovan Bennett, a Christian on-air and podcast personality with 17 years of experience working in sports, conducting interviews, and telling stories at The Score and Sportsnet. 

Staff and youth from across our ministries will be welcomed to the stage to help us explore the "Side by Side" theme. They will sit down with Donnovan and share inspiring stories of how unity, resilience, strength and mutual support are fostered when we journey alongside one another and with Jesus.

At the end of the evening, there will be an opportunity for guests to partner with us and give to YU staff accounts, program needs, or through the general fund, to support the ongoing work of addressing the critical needs of young people, families, and communities across the GTA.
