As a gender equality advocate, Kélicia sees the power of young women making changes in the communities they care about. That’s why she founded Girl Up Québec, a United Nations Foundation organization that gives girls the leadership and advocacy skills to be leaders of tomorrow.

To her, it’s important to make more young women be seen and lead in underrepresented fields like tech and law, areas she’s passionate about pursuing herself.

She co-founded Period Pop-Ups, a local community project offering pop-up pantries with free menstrual products to address period poverty. Her dedication to a future of education equality started with Canada’s Refugee Education Council where she advocated for education solutions shaped by refugees’ experiences.

Now, the 22-year-old works to reduce the gender gap in schools as a Transform Education representative with the United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative (UNGEI).

From flexible solar panels to plant-based plastics, Nalia is researching and building solutions for the future — one invention at a time.

As a young leader, she wanted other teens to feel like they can make an impact on the future. That’s why she co-created The Curiosity Podcast, where she interviews renowned inventors in STEM, knowing their experiences help equip and inspire future generations.

Autumn Peltier, Indigenous Rights & Water Activist

Since the age of 12, she’s spoken out to world leaders like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the UN General Assembly and at the World Economic Forum, bringing global attention to the water issues in Canada. A runner-up for the 2022 International Children’s Peace Prize, she inspires young women around the world to take action.
