FCSS-FESC: A Youth-Led Force for Change

Say hello to the Federation of Canadian Secondary Students / Fédération des élèves du secondaire au Canada (FCSS-FESC)! With a name that's a mouthful and a mission that's a handful, this non-partisan, youth-led charity is all about empowering high school students to bring about social justice in their schools and communities.

A Mutual Aid Model

At FCSS-FESC, it's all about the students. They're the heart, the soul, and the driving force behind all the initiatives. This isn't your grandma's charity, this is a mutual aid model where the students are at the centre of everything.

Challenging Systems of Power

FCSS-FESC isn't just about making a difference, it's about challenging the very systems of power that uphold social disadvantage. Their work is firmly grounded in an anti-oppressive and intersectional framework. They're not just talking the talk, they're walking the walk.

Committed to Diversity and Inclusion

Inclusivity isn't just a buzzword at FCSS-FESC, it's a way of life. They're committed to creating an environment where everyone feels included, valued, and heard. And when they say everyone, they mean everyone. Indigenous Peoples, Black and other racialized people, people with disabilities, people from gender and sexually diverse communities, linguistic minorities, and people with intersectional identities are all strongly encouraged to get involved.

So, if you're looking for a charity that's all about empowering students, challenging systems, and promoting inclusivity, FCSS-FESC is your kind of place. Just remember to bring your passion for change and your desire to make a difference!
