XYZine is a youth council a member of 8 Scarborough-based youth who identify as one or multiple - LGBTQ+, Deaf, MAD, and disabled and BIPOC and engage directly with program staff and artist facilitators. The XYZ members co-design and co-lead outreach and programming in the Fall of 2018 with a focus on youth-led workshops, exhibitions, and XYZine Fair. This program provides opportunities to build their leadership skills, while expanding their creative skills both analog and digital. The mission of this program is to create an empowering peer-to-peer learning model and leadership experience while cultivating a supportive community network.

PUFF Paddy was invited to design and create the display for the exhibition with XYZ members. Together they created posters for the exhibition, a reading nook, a giant cardboard album book, and display stands for XYZines youth council works.
