This one-of-a kind program focuses on empowering university and college students to be real and effective agents for change in their communities, organizations and businesses. Its national scope inspires a diverse range of students with a passion for sustainability and provides a unique blend of talents and skills.

The 2014 IMPACT! Youth Conference for Sustainability Leadership will bring together 175 student sustainability leaders from across Canada.

After the conference IMPACT! alumni benefit from a dedicated forum for ongoing exchanges with a network of over 500 alumni, collaborate and lead sustainability initiatives, are eligible to apply for seed funding for projects and are offered various opportunities through our partners.
