"As an ACTIVATE Alumni, I've had the opportunity to experience this amazing program firsthand. It reinforces the simple but powerful ideas of youth-led development, leadership, teamwork and community involvement. This program has played a huge part in shaping who I am today, and has contributed greatly to my personal development. I can't wait to assist the 2010 ACTIVATORS in their pursuit of developing a generation of healthy, active youth across Canada."

The ACTIVATE program is a national, not-for-profit, youth-led program which facilitates youth engagement and leadership through the development and delivery of sports and active recreational programs in communities across Canada. With an overall philosophy of youth-driven development, the program provides participants with non-threatening and supportive environments where they can realize their own leadership potential, build positive social interactions with their peer groups and share their personal experiences with others while making decisions on what is needed in their community. Opportunities also exist to re-engage participants as leaders and mentors of other youth.
