AVON MAITLAND DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
Youth Philanthropy Initiative Project teaches SDSS students the importance of giving

June 27, 2022

Our Grade 10 Civics classes participated in the Youth Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) Project again this year. Our students teamed up and researched one charity and then made a presentation on their value to our community.
 

The people at YPI in Toronto donated $5000 to be divided between the four best presentations this year. Our winners this year are the Canadian Cancer Society (Nate Framst, Brett Knechtel, Josh Whittaker); the Emily Murphy Centre (Emilia Auster, Kelsey Smith, Mike Turner); Relay for Life (CCS) (Mallory Daykin, Aude Stock-Bateman) and Shelterlink (Preston Baillie). Each of these charities will receive $1250 thanks to the hard work of our students.
