Mission

The Emerging Leaders Council is a committee established by KidsAbility Foundation to assist the Foundation staff with supporting KidsAbility’s mission of empowering children and youth with special needs to realize their full potential. It aims to engage a new generation of emerging leaders and philanthropists to undertake an active role in fundraising and promoting awareness of KidsAbility in new and innovative ways.

Purpose

The Emerging Leaders Council seeks to provide individuals (18-40) within the Kitchener-Waterloo Region and Guelph-Wellington County the opportunity to engage with other emerging leaders, while focusing on a mutual philanthropic goal. It is a unique way for members to deepen their understanding of and connection to KidsAbility.
