Mission: Students Offering Support aims to provide transformational learning programs across Canada and around the world through a student-led approach. We have recently developed our new Start Right workshops, which provides students with the tools and resources needed to ease the transition from high school to attend a post-secondary institution, or take a gap year, or enter the working world.

SOS has expanded to strengthen connections with charitable partners in over ten countries through the Global Impact Fund. SOS now includes over 25 student-led chapters, and with the support of over 10,000 past volunteers, 100,000 students have benefited from SOS’s services. SOS has totalled 2.5 million dollars in investment into 228 international projects that create measurable, meaningful global impact.
