Each year, YPI Canada empowers thousands of high school students to become advocates for change, granting hundreds of thousands of dollars to community-based social service charities across the country. During the 2023-2024 school year, 13,888 students from 93 schools participated in YPI, channeling their passion and creativity into real-world social impact.

​

Through YPI, students develop critical life skills like collaboration, communication, and critical thinking, while also gaining a deeper understanding of social justice and the vital role charities play in their communities. This experience not only broadens their perspectives but also fosters a strong sense of empathy and community engagement, encouraging them to challenge stereotypes and become vocal advocates for the causes they believe in.

​

The impact of YPI extends beyond the classroom. In 2023-2024, $488,000 was awarded to 241 charities across seven provinces, providing crucial support to organizations tackling some of the most pressing social issues. These grants enhance the visibility of these charities and amplify their efforts, creating a ripple effect of positive change that strengthens Canada’s social fabric.
