YPI is an inclusive, multi-award-winning secondary school program that engages youth in social issues, local charities, and grant-making.
Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) Canada is a national program that empowers youth in secondary schools across Canada to connect with the people and social issues that matter most in their own communities. Through experiential learning, students investigate the root causes of local social issues, meet face-to-face with charity professionals, and become powerful advocates for change.
Each student team presents a 10-minute presentation in support of a local charity, with one charity at every participating school receiving a $5000 grant.
The impact of YPI extends far beyond the classroom. By bringing together a national network of students, educators, charities, and donors, YPI is building a generation of compassionate, community-minded leaders and strengthening communities across Canada.
