"I'm hoping to continue to do seminars and workshops on activating young people to create change - we're the most powerful generation in history, we just need people to listen to us!"
Young women with socioeconomic barriers face a proven disadvantage in their future prosperity.
Girls E-Mentorship (GEM) was founded in 2012 from a vision that all young women should have the opportunity to succeed despite where they’ve come from or what barriers they’ve faced. We believe that women mentoring girls is essential in fostering the success of the next generation, and critical to creating gender equity in Canada.
GEM is a top 100 rated charity offering a research-based mentorship program for high school girls facing socioeconomic barriers to build their professional skills and achieve their academic and career potential.
Each year, GEM turns away more girls than we are able to admit due to lack of funds.
By providing young women with one-on-one mentorship, skill-building, enrichment opportunities, scholarships, and internships, GEM offers a transformative experience that empowers success long after high school graduation.

When you support GEM, you’re not just supporting a program. You’re supporting a generation.
