If you didn’t know, here’s a bit about us.
We were established as a Canadian charity in 2000 and began to operate internationally in 2005. From the beginning, we have been passionate about making a difference in people’s lives through our youth empowerment presentations, our humanitarian Builds program, our community projects, and our Academy program. Over the years, we’ve spoken to over 1.3 million students, visited over 3,000 schools from coast-to-coast, and completed over 500 projects internationally, including homes, schools, and clinics.

Each day we have the power to better someone’s life through our interactions and purchases, by spending time advocating for a cause we care about, and by investing into larger projects that will have a significant impact.
We love working together to make the world a better place: one person, family, and community at a time. Here are a few ways you can join us.
