Hope Through Smiles Campaign

by Omar E.

While Omar was on vacation abroad he executed an impact project for local orphans because of the neglect he noticed they often faced. Omar created a sense of community for the children by running a series of activities and fun games. Despite all the COVID-19 limitations, Omar mobilized a team of local youth to run a 1-day camp at an orphanage and bring joy to a group of 10 orphans.

Repurposed Co

by Rida

Rida recognizes the way fast fashion has increased the amount of waste that enters landfills. With a passion for sustainability, her team collects unused clothing and fabric scraps to repurpose them into clothing materials that are donated to refugee camps and centres. So far she has repurposed 450 pounds of clothing that benefited 50 people through The Glow Project Toronto.

Muslim Indigenous Connections

by Sakina

Sakina and her team worked on an educational program to establish engagement and trust between Muslim and Indigenous communities. They invited 24 youth to learn about Indigenous history and culture through panel discussions and activities. The youth then implemented micro-projects such as supporting an Indigenous women’s shelter and were able to positively impact 500 people.

Our Youth's Impact

How it all started

Inspired by the amazing contributions of youth in our communities, their contagious energy and their desire and thirst for learning, Coach Chihab Kaab began to think of effective ways to develop young leaders. He has been mentoring and developing leaders for over 10 years and has always believed that nurturing leaders should start at an early age and be based on practical, engaging, and enjoyable methods. From this came the idea of planting the seeds of leadership in high school and university-aged youth with the mission of inspiring and enabling young leaders to shape a better future.

What people are
saying

light blue quotation marks
There is no doubt the young people are building skills that will last a lifetime, the importance and intentionality placed on character development is one often missed by the most established organizations. I’m so thankful I was able to learn from and with this group.
Melissa Christiani Pollard
CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters
(Halton and Hamilton)
Seeds of Leadership has had a positive impact on my children. They think outside the box more and work collaboratively. Now, when they have a goal in mind they put a plan in place for themselves. These changes have made me less stressed as they take more responsibility for their actions.
Zeinab Suboh
Seed Lead Parent
This was the best leadership development experience that I’ve had because it breaks down the fundamentals of leadership first and works its way up. The Seeds of Leadership event itself was extremely organized and well planned-out.
