Youth Connect with each other, with Canada, & The Commonwealth

At NSCF, students from grade eleven through to second-year post-secondary increase their understanding of current issues, develop collaboration skills, and clarify their values, through focussed reflection and experiential learning. Delegates examine what Canadians are proud of (our identity) and learn the importance of diversity, inclusion, and reconciliation in building consensus on a better way forward for all.

Each year, delegates examine a current global issue from a government, social, economic, and environmental perspective.

The NSCF develops people's capacity to contribute to their communities.  Delegates will return to their communities having gained skills like public speaking, networking, and leadership. They will become global ambassadors and agents of change for a better world.​
