ENABLING YOUTH PARTNERSHIPS TO TRANSFORM GLOBAL HEALTH

Who we are

VOICES (Voices Of Inspired Children Engaging Society)Canada is a global health transformational development organization. Our mission is to facilitate and ignite personal and social change in young people challenged by socially marginalizing systems and realities. Our multi-pronged strategy includes the provision of relevant entrepreneurship training, access to a seed funding and project incubator initiative, the curating of tailored internship opportunities within our organization and access to research fellowships in our youth-led think tank that amplifies youth voices and youth perspectives on youth-related issues.

Why we do it

  • We believe every youth is created with the potential to ignite positive change in their communities and hope in their peers.

  • We affirm the rights of each youth as stated in United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child.

  • We value the participation of every youth to contribute to the well-being of their community.

  • We insist on the importance of the holistic well-being of every young person. We believe they all ought to have access to all they need to experience a fun, safe, healthy and thriving journey from birth to adulthood.

HOW we do IT

  • Through our Youth Internship program, we inspired and train youth to see their potential, recognize their significance and ignite belief in their capacity to transform their lives.

  • Through our Youth Fellowship program, we provide mentorship, life skills and social change tools, entrepreneurial and research training to facilitate young people’s personal and professional growth and transformation.

  • Through our Social changemaker incubators, we serve as bridge builders between the social challenges youth face and the realization of their goals to live lives that transform their communities.
