Opportunity Description:

The JEDI Champions Program (short for Justice, Equity, Decolonization, and Inclusion) is a program that allows for students to obtain up to a total of 40 community involvement hours as part of the requirements for graduation. This volunteering program is completely remote and self-paced within a timeline, and available to all secondary or CÉGEP students in Canada. The overall goal of the JEDI program is to provide students with the opportunity to gain crucial skills required in their academic careers, with an end objective for students to develop a project proposal relating to a social justice issue. The program aims to create grassroots advocates in local schools, school boards, and communities across Canada. JEDI Champions undergo a comprehensive online learning module to orient themselves to critical social justice theory and approaches before making concrete changes in their local community. We invite you to apply to becoming a program participant during the 2024/2025 session. Application link: https://jedichampions.paperform.co/
