How we started
Discover & Innovate Youth Network was born from a simple observation: young Canadians are full of ideas for improving their communities, but often lack the resources and support to bring those ideas to life.
Founded in 2025 by a group of students and former student leaders, we set out to create a national network that would provide everything a young person needs to launch a club, start a project, or build a social venture.
Today, we've supported many youth-led initiatives across every province and territory, proving that when you invest in young people, they deliver extraordinary results.
