Launched in 2023 under the name Youth Leadership Certificate for the SDGs, the online program received a brand new look and name. Youth Can Sustain is a virtual, no-cost program designed to equip Canadian post-secondary students with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead impactful SDG initiatives in their communities.

In partnership with SDSN Canada members and the Sustainability Hub at the University of British Columbia, the network will be hosting SDG Month (formerly SDG Week), a national campaign to showcase the SDG strength of Canada’s universities and colleges. Throughout March, campuses across Canada will organize workshops, panels, and other interactive programming to raise awareness of and engagement with the 17 SDGs.

Bringing together intergenerational Indigenous Peoples, youth, academia, government, business, and community leaders to turn global goals into local action and tackle Canada’s toughest sustainability challenges.
