The JEDI Champions Program (short for Justice, Equity, Decolonization, and Inclusion) is a program that allows for students to obtain up to a total of 40 community involvement hours as part of the requirements for graduation. This volunteering program is completely remote and self-paced within a timeline, and available to all secondary or CÉGEP students in Canada.
The overall goal of the JEDI program is to provide students with the opportunity to gain crucial skills required in their academic careers, with an end objective for students to develop a project proposal relating to a social justice issue. The program aims to create grassroots advocates in local schools, school boards, and communities across Canada.
JEDI Champions undergo a comprehensive online learning module to orient themselves to critical social justice theory and approaches before making concrete changes in their local community. We invite you to apply to becoming a program participant during the 2024/2025 session.Application link: https://jedichampions.paperform.co/

Mission Statement
The Federation of Canadian Secondary Students / Fédération des élèves du secondaire au Canada (FCSS-FESC) is an entirely non-partisan youth-led charity that aims to inform, educate, and ultimately empower high school students to foster social justice initiatives in their schools and local communities. We use a mutual aid model where students are at the centre of our programs and initiatives. We encourage students to challenge systems of power that perpetuate social disadvantage and actively ground our work in an anti-oppressive and intersectional framework.
Description
Since 2012, the FCSS-FESC has grown from a grassroots group of secondary students at Abbey Park High School in Oakville, ON into a registered charity with operations in Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario.
Over the years, we have shifted focus many times, from student advocacy to student support. Today, the FCSS-FESC is focused on giving secondary students the tools to effect change in their local schools and communities with an approach grounded in social justice and mutual aid.
