Volunteer

Help Make it Happen

Volunteers for the Next Generation Leaders Forum are JA mentors and advisors from across Canada, sponsor representatives and local business professionals.

Each day throughout the week, delegates are presented with interactive workshops and business challenges presented by industry and academic experts to develop new perspectives, ideas and skill-sets.

“Professionally this is a great test of teamwork, presentation skills and time-management. Opportunities to build skills you might not get to develop in your career” – O.H., Quebec

“Meet like-minded people with a common goal of practical business education for youth” – C.H., Saskatchewan

“Get to work with some of the smartest students in the world!” – J.B., Manitoba
