ME to WE and St. Francis Xavier University (StFX) are committed to empowering young people to act as leaders in their local and global community. This July, ME to WE and StFX are excited to be partnering to bring young people from across Canada together for a one-of-a-kind leadership training experience, offering experiential learning on social justice and the opportunity to explore what global citizenship and leadership look like at a university. Over the course of an in-depth 6 day program, participants will build their leadership skills, improve their understanding of their personal leadership style, gain an increased knowledge of issues affecting local and global communities, and immerse themselves in a university community dedicated to supporting student leadership and global citizenship. Participants will also work to complete an Action Plan focused on preparing themselves to pursue a post-secondary program of their choice and prepare themselves for their future.
