Will you support IPPNWC’s ongoing programs for youth engagement?
|
|
|
At IPPNWC, we believe that young people are the key to creating a better future, and that's why we have developed innovative programs that engage and educate youth about important global issues. Our programs are designed to provide young people with the knowledge and skills they need to become leaders in their communities, and to make a positive impact on the world around them.
Alongside this important work, we are engaging with the Government of Canada on important matters of security, peace and sustainability. With the help of our supporters, we have been able to spread our purposes and goals to a broader audience of young people, civil society members, and government organizations. As we approach the upcoming GAC consultations, we hope to further emphasize the importance of this work.
But we can't do this important work alone. We rely on the support of generous donors like you to help us continue to engage youth people in the discussion around peace, disarmament, environmental justice and sustainability. Your donation will enable us to expand our programs and reach even more young people.
