Marginalization is to relegate someone to an unimportant or powerless position, or to the lower or peripheral edge of society. Those who are marginalized are denied economic, educational, political, social and cultural opportunities.
Marginalized children and youth have their backs against the wall. They are marginalized by homelessness, being pushed out of school, socio-economic status, perceived ability, sexual minority status, racism, poverty, immigration, and other factors. The JLF is committed to supporting opportunities otherwise denied to children and youth who are marginalized in Canadian society.
