Award Overview

The Leaders of Today Award is a $1,000 award designed to support young people as they explore their ideas, passions, and sense of purpose without limiting what leadership is supposed to look like.

This award is open to any young person under 30 living in Canada, whether they identify as a creator, entrepreneur, activist, artist, community builder, or something in between. A finished project, a formal title, or a polished plan is not required. What matters is curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to explore what they care about.

Our goal is to give youth the space to think freely, experiment boldly, and reflect on the kind of impact they want to make, on their own terms. By removing traditional barriers and expectations, the Leaders of Today Award encourages authentic thinking and diverse forms of leadership.

Award Amount: $1,000

Who Can Apply: Youth and young professionals under the age of 30 living in Canada
