Take Action! Organization is a student-run organization determined to cultivate effective and socially aware youth leaders. We aspire to create large scale social change within Canada by tackling pressing issues ranging from the environment to poverty. By empowering youth to be effective and socially aware leaders, we intend that they initiate noticeable change towards issues of personal interest.

Undoubtedly the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. However, we at Take Action! are confident that with the right opportunities and guidance, the youth of today can also be the leaders of the present. Accordingly, through our three-fold approach focused on service, leadership development, and mentorship, we seek transformative change amongst our members and their surrounding communities.

Our various intiatives and programs are based on the Take Action! Service-Leadership Development-Mentorship (SLM) model and are as follows:

1) Service: For those who are unable to meet the long term time commitments of initiatives, they can still participate and be active citizens through our routinely coordinated volunteer opportunities. Doing so will help you become a more aware and active contributor to society.
> > E.g. volunteering weekly at a local soup kitchen.

2) Mentorship: We provide members with the opportunity to help plan and deliver educational/informational programs and seminars in a mentorship capacity to those younger or less experienced. In doing so, members can reaffirm their learning and benefit others through education. Ideally, through shaping the minds of others you can be catalysts for further change.
>> E.g. As part of our Take Action! Mentorship Program, members conduct EcoMovement workshop, centered on environmentally conscious actions for children, at local primary schools.

3) Leadership Development: Our comprehensive approach towards leadership development seeks to strike a balance between theory and practice. Our leadership toolkits, blog and featured events (such as speak events) are resources available to all members to develop their understanding of leadership techniques, opportunities and opinions. Members also have the opportunity to put theory into practice and assume leadership positions in our sponsored initiatives or alternatively run their own project, in which case we offer support, guidance and resources.
>> E.g. members who express interest will be selected to lead the planning and execution of the Annual Children's Holiday Party. This party is held to provide a fun festive event and gifts to children that otherwise would not have such an opportunity.
