Each year, Youreka Canada connects hundreds of talented and passionate students to engage in meaningful, self-directed research projects to contribute to positive advancements, both locally and globally. By delivering an annual curriculum anchored in critical thinking and scientific literacy, our students learn powerful skills that enhance their projects and allow them to develop into global leaders that are ready to tackle issues ranging from biomedicine to social issues to corporate finance. The mission of Youreka is to empower youth to become innovators, thought-leaders, and active citizens by connecting them with the meaningful experiential learning opportunities and mentorship that they need to make an impact in their communities.
