About Course

The SDG Accelerator Program is a national initiative for youth aged 12–18 who want to make a difference in their communities while helping Canada achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This program equips young people with the knowledge, skills, mentorship, and funding needed to design and launch community projects that support Canada’s commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Through a combination of virtual and in-person workshops, mentorship, and hands-on learning, participants will explore the 17 SDGs and take action by developing youth-led initiatives that create meaningful change.
