Youth Changemaker Leadership Institute
The first program of its kind in Simcoe County & Muskoka
The Youth Changemaker Leadership Institute is a dynamic one-week program designed to inspire and equip youth with the tools to create meaningful change in their schools and communities. Youth will be introduced to the #ChangeTheNow framework of change making and human centered design thinking through fun and engaging activities while exploring the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). During this program youth will use their creativity to envision and co-design ideas for green, sustainable, peaceful, and just futures.
For summer 2026, the Changemaker Program will be running in two locations.
