Forum For Young Canadians

Participated in Forum as a student in 2001 and as a facilitator in 2013 and can honestly say the quality of this program is incomparable. There is no better program out there to teach students about our political system and give them a first hand look at democracy in Canada.

Wonderful life changing program that inspired me to move permanently to Ottawa to pursue a career in the public service

They do amazing work with youth. I love coming back to contribute back to the program that helped me out!

Great experience

The Forum changed my life. It gave me a new perspective on myself and my national community. After participating the world got a bit smaller, speaking and learning a second language suddenly became relevent, and the urge to visit and understand Canada sprouted within me. Oh and I also learned a lot about how the Canadian government works (the actual purpose of the programme lol). It is a wonderful programme that fosters personal growth and sense of community, and broadens our understanding of life in general. If you or your children are thinking about participating, please don't hesitate. The staff and volunteers are also great, so all the participants are always in good hands. Enjoy!!

I attended Forum as a student in 1998 and returned as a staff councillor twice after that. Forum not only got me interested and invested in learning about Canadian politics but I made many lifelong friends from all over the country. One of the best experiences of my life.

I attended Forum in 1997, and it was such an amazing experience. I got to meet students from all over Canada and also learned about the federal government from the very people who lead and work within it. If you're still in high school, I would highly recommend attending!

Amazing experience! Went to Forum as a high school student, came back to volunteer in university and even worked there for 5 years as an adult! Can't wait until my children are old enough to attend! Proud alumnus!

It's quite the learning experience and the connections made will last a lifetime. I am so grateful for this opportunity and truly enjoyed my time in Parliament!

J'ai été participant et bénévole au Forum pour jeunes canadiens. Une expérience formidable! Je le recommande vraiment à tous les jeunes!
