YGL Program Impact - Fall 2019
"The ForUsGirls program has helped me gain knowledge in areas of business, specifically that I had an interest in. At the time being in grade 12, the program allowed me to explore all kinds of business and how I can be successful in that field. I was able to develop and further develop skills that I can take with me in the future, such as learning how to network and present."
The Scholarship
"It'll support my academic and career goals by allowing me to devote more time to my academics and help me pursue my post-secondary education with confidence."

YGL Program Impact - Fall 2019
"The Young Global Leaders Accelerator program has helped me have more of an entrepreneurial mindset; the program has taught me the effective process when addressing problems both personal and in my career.
The program, through its various guest speakers, has also helped me create balance in my life, I learned to care for myself and my mental well being. I noticed after completing the program that there are endless opportunities to better yourself and create my businesses to help others if I set my mind to it.
Previously, I had believed my passion for art could only be a hobby, but with the help of this program, I was able to put my art into action and help develop an application. I will continue to find various ways to connect my art to my career aspirations."

YGL Program Impact - Fall 2019
"It allowed me to get a taste into what the journey will be like when beginning and planning your own business, which has been super useful for me because I've always been interested in founding and becoming the CEO of my own organization/business.
The Scholarship
This scholarship is such a blessing, and I couldn't be more grateful, so THANK YOU SO MUCH! Through this support, I'll be able to further my studies in communications and afford opportunities to expand my learning, such as my plan on going on an international exchange in my second year. The ForUsGirls scholarship will help me tremendously to cover some of those expenses."

YGL Program Impact - Fall 2019
"The YGL program has shown me how to focus a business on helping the community. It gave me something to be passionate about it and gave me more confidence in going into the business field for post-secondary." This scholarship will help pay for my tuition in the business technology management program."
The Scholarship
This scholarship will help me learn more about running a business and how to do so with technology. I will continue to advocate for black youth in my community and at school. As well as hopefully starting my YGL business that will provide black students with flexible employment along with mentorship and sponsorship."
