BOLD AND UNIQUE STUDENT LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IN CANADA
Our program offers an exciting and intensive leadership development experience for junior and senior high school students from the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board (public school system) in Québec. We also collaborate with schools across Canada, creating a nationwide network engaging the next generation of leaders.
We develop the next generations of leaders to build a better country and world by transforming the tools acquired in the classroom into skills for life.

CANADIAN IMPACT

As a result; students in our program and school board are in the regular company of a former Governor General and officials who lead and serve in the highest offices in our country and interacting with people all over the world.

Our transformative program empowers students to take the lessons they learn in the classroom and apply them in real and meaningful ways. We help students develop the confidence, competencies, and skills they need to succeed in all areas of their lives. We achieve this through hands-on experiences like camps, weekly training, partnerships, mentorship, experiential learning, and intensive leadership development trips.
BUILDING A BETTER WORLD
We seek to go far in our effort to engage and inspire young people to do the hard work to lead. We are working to include students from all SWLSB secondary schools and further unite our initiatives with schools to enhance the classroom, learning, and to instill confidence and fortitude in our young people.
