About Cassidy Graden

Cassidy has held a lifelong desire to support her community, which has led her to a fulfilling career in the human service field.

Holding a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Alberta has allowed Cassidy to develop a foundational understanding of social justice, human behaviour, and mental wellbeing. Her previous career experience in preventative social services involved driving positive social change and delivering comprehensive support to address the unique challenges faced by our vulnerable community members.

Cassidy’s continued passion for social change and advocacy has brought her to YOUCAN Youth Services, where she is excited to work with local youth and collaborate with community partners to advance both individual and organizational success. Her role allows her to blend her dedication for social advocacy with her desire to create meaningful, positive outcomes for the youth within our community.

When she’s not working, Cassidy enjoys spending time with her friends and family (and her dog, Charlie, of course) or getting lost in a good book.
