History
The Ontario Youth Secretariat was established in December 1972 and reported to a Minister without Portfolio attached to the Cabinet Office (the Cabinet Office, in turn, forms a part of the Premier's Office). It was transferred to the Provincial Secretariat for Social Development in October 1975, and then to the Ministry of Skills Development in April, 1985. In 1985, the Ontario Youth Secretariat consisted of the following administrative units: Youth Employment Counselling, Youth Employment Programs, Youth Enterprise, and Youth Hotline. The Secretariat was replaced by the Youth Employment Services Branch, Ministry of Skills Development, in late 1985.

Functions, occupations and activities
The Ontario Youth Secretariat was created to act as a focal point for youth concerns within the Government. As employment became the primary issue facing young people, the Secretariat concentrated on the design and delivery of youth employment programs which delivered counselling, wage subsidies, interest-free small business start-up loans, and information on programs. Major programs launched by or supervised by the Ontario Youth Secretariat included Youth Employment Counselling Centres, Youth Employment Counselling Services, Youth Works, Youth Corps, Summer Experience, Ontario Youth Employment Programs, Student Venture Capital, Youth Venture Capital, Summer Enterprises, and Youth Hotline.
