To lead is to serve.

The impact project experience fast tracks the development of youth as leaders by giving them opportunities to lead teams. As a Seed Lead, they will complete 4-6 impact projects over the course of the 3-year program.

The Seed Leads identify the project they want to do based on a societal need and what they are passionate about. Projects range from combating racism and bullying, Indigenous awareness, environmental sustainability, supporting homeless individuals, providing a community for kids who have lived in abusive households, and more.
