Ilyes El Ouarzadi’s Summary

Since a young age, I enjoyed getting involved in my community. Whether it was with non-profit organizations such as Impact and AIESEC, volunteer at Hema-Quebec or for MOMENTUM, I have contributed to better my community and to inspire youth to create positive change.

Concerning my hobbies and interests, I enjoy developing my leadership skills, using information technologies, reading scientific articles, practising sports, writing poetry and travelling.

I firmly believe that youth must realize they are global citizens and that, as a collective force, they have the ability to make great positive changes in our society and in the world and thus, to be the change they wish to see in the world.

From January 2008 to May 2009, I worked with TakingITGlobal as part of the Creating Local Connections team where I served as the Quebec Virtual Engagement Coordinator.

CLC Canada is an integrated three-year program (2006-2009) with a goal of inspiring, informing, and involving youth as engaged participants in Canadian society through: awareness and access, collaboration and communication, and capacity building initiatives.

The goals of the CLC Canada program are:

• To raise awareness and provide access to youth opportunities and resources
• To connect and encourage collaboration between youth/youth initiatives
• To strengthen the capacity of youth/youth initiatives in Canada.

Languages:
- Native Level: English, French and Arabic

These young leaders both participated in the leadership program Shad Valley as well as in the 2008 World Youth Congress and in the Dictée des Amériques and they wish, through this project, to give the chance to hundreds, even thousands of young people from Canada and abroad, to live such live-changing experiences.
