#5 in our of 2024 - Witnessing Youth Leadership in ACTION​!

Our GK youth turned learning into action this year through student-led action projects, tackling critical issues in their communities with creativity, research, and advocacy. From addressing education equity to food insecurity, students developed real-world solutions and amplified their voices to drive change. ​

Youth in DC and NYC took part in Summer Institute where they examined some of the world's most pressing issues, climate change, global economics, women’s rights, artificial intelligence and so much more. With guest speakers and specialists' visits, youth were able to engage with professionals in the field who are working to address these issues. At the end of the program, youth in NYC presented their final action projects at the Canadian Consulate, sharing their final plans for mobilizing on an issue of their choosing.
