“As a part of the AIM department, not only did I contribute to events that benefited students across Canada, but I learned from speakers we connected with developing my own leadership abilities.

Working in FCSS-FESC has been one of my best volunteer opportunities, and I would highly recommend it to other students.”

— Isaac Yu
AIM Program Manager (2021-22)


“In my time with the FCSS-FESC, I had the opportunity to work with an amazing team of fellow secondary school students to help develop the JEDI Champions program.

As part of a professional, yet friendly environment, we learned to collaborate with one other and in the end, I am thrilled that this program has educated and inspired students to explore ways to bring change to their respective communities.

While it was a challenge for me as a new experience, I'm glad that I was able to contribute to this journey.”

“At the Federation, I have had the opportunity to work with a group of passionate and talented people in the Demystify Tribune.

Very few things match the satisfaction of finishing a productive briefing with the rest of the writers, and starting a fresh piece empowered by the change our words can make. The whole process - from brainstorming, to writing, and seeing the change we were able to create - is an incredibly fulfilling experience.”
