The PRIDE Project is run out of the Leading toward Equity through Adolescent Participation (LEAP) Lab, at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) Toronto.

The Leap Lab seeks to explore how health systems can most effectively support and engage adolescents sitting at the intersection of structural vulnerabilities.

Our team recognises that youth are experts in their own experiences, and we believe that adolescent-responsive, rights-based approaches to research and care can transform health systems to promote and improve health outcomes for all youth.
