Overview:

Welcome to where young leaders are developed.

We seek out, recognize, and develop leadership potential in grade ten Central Ontario high school students.

The seminar's primary focus is to teach students "how to think, not what to think." By opening up communication channels and interactive panel discussions, students can express their views in an accepting and judgment-free environment. Internationally recognized speakers are brought in to motivate the ambassadors and share stories and experiences about growing as a leader.
