AI Integration Across All Programs


We leverage artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and personalization in all our initiatives. From predictive analytics to automated processes, AI is at the core of our operations, enabling us to make data- driven decisions and deliver superior outcomes.


In technical collaboration with Emmaus Road Solutions, we have developed an AI-driven Youth Resource Bot, The Yeti. We will offer immediate resources, mental health support, career advice, and

educational materials on leadership and rights, while promoting community engagement. The Yeti aims to create an accessible, secure, and effective tool that empowers youth, fosters leadership skills, and enhances overall well-being.

Adopting the Scout Mindset


Our team embraces the Scout Mindset, characterized by curiosity, open-mindedness, and a relentless pursuit of truth. This approach fosters a culture of continuous learning and adaptability, allowing us to navigate challenges and seize opportunities with agility. It encourages seeing things as they are, fostering critical thinking and the pursuit of truth. This mindset creates a safe space for youth to ask questions, encourages youth to explore new ideas, question assumptions, revise beliefs based on new evidence and experiment without fear of failure.

Youth Architect Program (YA)


We believe in empowering the next generation of leaders. Our Youth Architect Program is designed to nurture young talent, providing them with the skills, mentorship, and resources needed to drive innovation and lead with confidence. This initiative ensures a sustainable pipeline of visionary leaders who will shape the future.

The YA consists of five young individuals from different Regions of Canada each embodying the pinnacle of youth success and serving as role models. They are authorized to formally endorse all initiatives developed by the YIA before it is submitted to appropriate funding streams.


These innovations are not just enhancements; they are transformative elements that redefine how we operate and deliver value. By integrating AI, adopting the scout mindset, and investing in youth, we are poised to lead our industry into a new era of excellence.



We strive to create meaningful opportunities for youth to engage at all levels. Our programs are designed to enhance young people’s leadership abilities through mentorship, training, and chances to lead youth-focused initiatives. We believe in the importance of providing young individuals with the necessary support, education, and opportunities to develop their leadership skills.
