Neil Guilding, better known as Zibz, has been a long-time community worker, musician, poet, photographer, and the collective favourite word to describe him, an artist. In this interview, we go down memory lane, revisit the art scene of Montreal, discuss his influence in the art world and his print in the community sector precisely as the leading figure of Jeunesse 2000. 

Jeunesse 2000 (J2K) breaks isolation by providing a space for marginalized youth to connect and build community through music, art, and sports programming. J2K creates space for storytelling, skill-building, and for youth to access education pertinent to them outside of a formal educational system. 
By creating a space by and for young people, J2K attempts to foster solidarity between participants without expectations and empower them in their decision-making, desires, and potential.

The Artist In You. (Zibz, Neil Guilding)

Gender equality & addiction. (Marie Camille Côté, Caroline Bergeron).

The Genders & Equality program aims to educate local youth, girls and boys, about subjects such as exploitation, sexual violence, gender stereotypes and equality issues. 
The actions of a drug addiction counselor can motivate someone to seek help for alcohol or drug misuse, compulsive eating, or other addictive behaviours.

Two workers in our community are making a difference for our youth. In today’s episode, we have two workers from Prevention CDN-NDG, Marie Camille Côté, an outreach worker from the gender and equality program and Caroline Bergeron, a drug addiction counselor.

Gender Equality & Addiction. (Marie Camille Côté, Caroline Bergeron)

Miranda Potts has been involved with community work and social activism for most of her life. She sat in her mother's Mcgill social work classes as a little girl. When asked what entices her to this type of work, she answered, "It is all I know and what I love. Seniors are excellent sources of knowledge and experience from which to learn. Supporting them with their various needs and aiding with enhancing their quality of life is my way of returning gratitude and giving back to the community."
