Environmental leaders in action and protection
LEAP: Cultivating tomorrow’s green leaders
The Leaders in Environmental Action Protection program aims to support and inspire the next generation of green leaders to ensure a prosperous community for tomorrow. By launching their own eco-projects across the West Island, the L.E.A.P. program will offer students the chance to take advantage of brand-new educational resources, project development and financial support.
OUR PARTNERS
With the help of valuable partners such as the RBC Foundation, CN Rail, GM Canada, Earthforce, ECO Canada, and The COOP, the Carrefour jeunesse-emploi de l'Ouest-de-l'Île will offer in-class workshops and a dedicated online platform aimed at helping students make a living their projects. As part of this project, we will also offer micro-grants, of up to $1,000, for projects led by young people in need of financial assistance.
