WHO WE ARE
We support youth-led mobilization towards inclusion and racial justice through creativity, the arts and innovation initiatives.
The Foundation Michaëlle Jean Foundation, through its actions, employs the power of the arts as tools for social change ‒ to speak out, address sensitive issues and realities, break isolation, and even save lives.
We work in collaboration with civil-society groups, youth-led organizations, government, and corporate leaders to convene and amplify youth-focused arts, justice, and entrepreneurship initiatives with a specific focus on marginalized and excluded young people.
We believe in active citizenship sharing in the responsibility of shaping and defining our society as individuals, companies, and organizations.
Innovation and creativity in unlocking human potential is the prerequisite for innovation.
Dialogue, collaboration, and inclusion where each individual can engage and call for a collective response to the issues and challenges we face.
Social and collective responsibility as we are ethically accountable for making decisions that will benefit all.
