Fall registration is open

FUTURES is a three-month experience where you will join a cohort of like-minded individuals making an impact. You’ll be a part of weekly programming featuring creative workshops, guest speakers, facilitated discussions, mentorship, game nights, and good old fashion hang-outs. FUTURES empowers you to explore your identity, grow as a leader, and build lasting connections.

FUTURES culminates in an activation: a tangible takeaway you create, and impacts your community. We’ll support the creation of this activation; it will be yours during FUTURES and beyond.

This program requires a weekly commitment of attending programming for up to 3 hours per week (in person or virtual) and independent work of up to 2 hours per week.

Eligibility

FUTURES is open to youth who are:

  • Between 18–30 years old
  • Identify as Disabled, Neurodivergent, or equity-deserving (LGBTQ2S+, BIPOC)
  • Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident
  • Excited to invest in yourself, build connections, and grow
  • Able to commit to weekly programming (3 hours) and weekly independent work (up to 2 hours)
