ElevatED Youth started with one person's recovery — and the belief that no one else should have to go through it alone.
Cyndi Zou founded ElevatED Youth in Markham, Ontario, after her own recovery from an eating disorder showed her how little open, stigma-free support exists for young people going through the same thing.
What started as one person's story turned into a youth-led movement — community pop-ups, workshops, and a growing network of volunteers, all built around the same idea: your hardest chapter doesn't have to define you. It can fuel you.
She's still leading ElevatED today — building toward something bigger, and always looking for the next generation of leaders ready to help take it further.
