We strongly believe that this goal can be best achieved by promoting a “local action, global results” approach. In doing so, Youth Action Montreal promotes five key areas of community development that we encourage students to become actively engaged in; sustainable development, health, environment, education, and poverty.

Thousands of students are brought together annually at the conferences and special events that showcase inspiring leaders and student-led initiatives that are making a positive contribution in their local and international communities.

These conferences touch on a variety of themes and culminate in strong calls to action. They also seek to provide information necessary to be successful in their endeavours. They are a catalyst for change and have led to the creation and support of numerous successful student led initiatives across Canada since 2007.
