What I joined Champions of Change
I joined Champions of Change because of my love for supporting others. One of my favourite initiatives was the support we provided to Warm Hands Warm Hearts which provided winter supplies and life necessities to Edmonton's homeless

Fun Fact:
Volunteering and tackle football are my two biggest passions and together they won me a national award!​
WHY WE STARTED CHAMPIONS OF CHANGE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA
Founders: Gurreet Bhandal & Rupali Manek
We believe that youth have an important voice that is integral to future change. Champions of Change, partnered with Plan International Canada, has offered youth like ourselves with an opportunity to advocate for change and make a difference in our local and global communities. While we hope to share educational and awareness resources on numerous social issues, we place a strong emphasis on learning alongside our community on how we can better advocate for vulnerable populations. We hope to raise awareness surrounding issues such as disparity in healthcare access, education rights, gender inequality, and children’s rights. By doing so, we hope Champions of Change can be a piece in a larger movement towards equal opportunities for all groups in society. Join us on our journey of advocacy and empowerment!
