Emerging Female Leaders in Business Forum

We are excited to share that we have partnered with United Nations Associations in Canada under its Building Young Entrepreneurs programme to organize the first Emerging Female Leaders in Business Forum. It is a networking event on Thursday December 6th 2018, as a follow-up to the September Women Leaders in Business High Level Panel. The panel will convene influential women in business to share their expertise and experience in working in the business world. Participating youth will seize the opportunity to gain mentorship and networking training targeting their soft skills and techniques related to professional development, career launch and advancement. The event empowers young female leaders who face multiple barriers and provide them with skills and confidence to develop their careers. Check them out at the link down below!

Our Mission

Helping Hands is first and foremost about community. We are a community that believes in the power of volunteering to enrich our lives and the world around us. We are a service that brings youth and good causes together. We believe that our success can be seen in the relationships formed between nonprofits and volunteers. Our aim is to build a service that will overcome the barriers that keep volunteers and nonprofits from finding each other, working together, and developing strong relationships.We believe in the power of students. The belief that they have the power to give back and deserve opportunities to build their skills.

Getting Your Voice Heard

Over the past year, we have helped countless students and young people with their applications and to successfully join councils where their voices can be heard by government officials.

"Helping Hands helped me understand more exactly what MSAC is and what they expect in the application. Thus, I knew how to organize my essays and what to mention in my application."
—Le Nguyen, Minister's Student Advisory Council Member 2018-2019

We have also helped students get $2,500 for their student clubs through Ontario's SpeakUp program!
