STEM & Entrepreneurship Competition:
Youth Helping Youth
In our fall program students will engage in a STEM and Entrepreneurship focused competition! In teams, students will identify a health related issue affecting young people in today's society and develop ways to address this issue. During the competition students will learn valuable skills, engage with the community and have access to a network of professionals to guide them!
The Canadian Youth Champions (CYC) was founded in 2020 during the pandemic. Like many other families, Hayley and her mom were struggling during the lockdown. With schools closed and limited opportunities to go out, teens and families faced different levels of stress and mental health challenges. Seeing that many families shared the same difficulties, they decided to create a digital platform where teenagers could connect and meet online.

Youth Leadership Program:
Captain Training
Canadian Youth Champions is partnering with the Tangerine Straight Talkers Toastmasters Club to offer a youth leadership program to CYC members. This program is designed to help youth aged 12 to 17, improve their soft skills and confidence in public speaking. The youth leadership program will last for two weeks starting August 16th and will be held virtually through Zoom. Throughout this program, Toastmasters will deliver demo speeches corresponding to a variety of topics, including STEM, entrepreneurship, and marketing. The youth will be able to use the skills and tips learned throughout the demo speeches and apply them to their own presentations throughout their careers!
In our winter program students were able to work in teams to focus on a STEM and Entrepreneurship, Business and Marketing focused competition! The teams worked hard to find and solve a problem in their respective the pillars and had the opportunity to recieve mentorship and present their final projects to an audeince.
