Young citizens of impact
The Young citizens of impact project creates opportunities for young people to learn about civic engagement and get involved. Whether it’s to raise awareness of the importance of public participation or to support their involvement in their community, the project mobilizes hundreds of young people from Quebec and French-speaking Canada on a variety of current issues.
The project’s ambition is to enable young people to address the issues of diversity and inclusion, as well as that of official languages. It also aims to equip them to develop their citizenship skills.
