Change begins with an idea
Have you successfully launched a creative initiative or project on campus? Can your idea be brought to life at other campuses? If you want to make an impact on sustainability and build your resume as a leader, innovator or problem-solver, we can help you help others follow in your footsteps.
The impact of students
Peer-to-peer learning is such a powerful tool to create change. And where better to do that than at university or college, those multi-disciplinary hothouses for learning and exploring new opportunities?
With approximately 280 Canadian post-secondary institutions and over 2.5 million students filled with ingenuity, creativity and energy to fuel transformative ideas, we can transition to a more sustainable world.

Testimonials
During my co-op at HP, I came across the Smart Office Challenge for the Living Planet @ Work program, which was insightful. Recognizing the fact that most people on campus are unaware of the environmental impact of IT, I wanted to create a fun and engaging way to educate them and create awareness. I pitched the “Smart Campus Challenge” to WWF and worked with them to co-author the toolkit and make it relevant to students. I gained recognition from the Head of Sustainability at HP Canada for this initiative. This experience made me leave my comfort zone, and as a result I gained skills and valuable experience that will help me in the future both in school and at the workplace.
