Students, are you looking for ways to equip yourself with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in today's ever-changing world?

Building on the success of the ISTAR Leadership Summit, the Aga Khan Education Board for Canada is excited to introduce Endeavour - a national youth leadership series for all students in grades 7-12 designed to inspire, guide and support Ismaili youth to navigate their futures with faith, hope and confidence.

With sessions taking place 3-4 times per year, Endeavour is the perfect way for you to stay engaged on global issues and trends shaping our world such as Generative AI, Climate and Sustainability, Health Technology and Equity, Social Justice and more. By exploring and identifying the issues that matter most to you and utilizing your unique skills and strengths, you can discover meaningful ways to make a positive impact in your community and beyond.

Inspired by the guidance of Mawlana Hazar Imam and rooted in the ethics and principles of the Ismaili faith, this series will provide you with the tools needed to thrive both personally and professionally!

Register today for the launch event as spots are limited. Food and drinks will be provided.

The launch event takes place on Friday, June 9 at Vancouver Headquarters Jamatkhana from 8pm to 10pm.
