Not long ago, I met a cohort of Canada World Youth participants serving in Northern Saskatchewan; they were undertaking local community projects while getting set to go abroad. Seeing their smiles, hearing their stories, knowing their work ethic was simply inspiring. I was moved by their shared commitment to both learn and serve. Like so many other Canada World Youth participants, these young leaders were determined to help build a better Canada and a better world.

Canada World Youth programs put real meaning into the expression ‘walk a mile in my shoes’. By living and working overseas, Canadian youth are immersed in cultural, social, and economic experiences that build the knowledge and skills needed to be global citizens. It is CWY’s capacity to build relationships and inspire youth to civic action at home and abroad that has drawn me back to the program that gave me so much in my own youth.

Former Federal Minister and Senior Advisor
When I was Canada's Minister of International Development, I came to fully appreciate the huge impact that our youth have on making the world a better place for those in need, and I then made a commitment to myself to continue to support our youth in their journey.
