Youth
ACIC’s youth programs provide meaningful opportunities to learn about global issues, build skills, and make an impact as active global citizens. Through activities like the Global Citizenship Conference and workshops, youth explore issues that matter, connect with peers, and take action. With programs designed for various interests and skill levels, participants can expand their knowledge and confidence, whether they're just getting started or ready to deepen their engagement. ACIC encourages youth from Atlantic Canada to explore multiple activities, each helping them grow as leaders in their communities and beyond.
