JANIS TAILLY-DION

Consultant
As a former youth in care, Janis developed a strong sense of adaptability and empathy, which allows her to truly understand what CARE Jeunesse members may be going through.
She joined CARE Jeunesse in 2018 as a participant and gradually became involved in various committees—related or not to youth protection. Her growing involvement naturally led her to her current role as Advocacy Coordinator, where she is committed to representing youth, promoting available programs, and building bridges between young people and the resources they deserve.
