You must be aged 18-35, be based in Canada, have a policy idea which could make change across Canada and beyond and be able to attend the ten-day programme 21 October to 1 November 2019 in the UK.

We are so close to being able to confirm the members of UWC Class of 2021 from Canada. After months of applications, interviews, and the delicate work of matching selected students with places at UWC, we expect to have over 50 representatives from Canada join UWC next year. We estimate it takes over 2000 hours of volunteer time to do this work each year. Thank you to everyone involved; including the students who want to join the mission to make education a positive force in the world, the parents who put their trust in our global organization, and the alumni who are #LivingTheMission and #GivingBack. #Volunteers #UWCCanada #AlmostThere #UWCUSoon
