Champions of Change, formerly known as Because I am a Girl, is a Non-Profit initiative under Plan International Canada, and this organization seeks to establish and strengthen subjects of gender equality all around the world. Champions of Change at UTSC is a student-led organization which dedicates to promoting ideas of gender equality around campus in the community, whilst hosting various events which would have direct positive impact on marginalized communities. As a team we hope to inspire other individuals to join us on our journey to creating grounds of equity on our campus and establish a fun platform through which individuals can learn, contribute, and advocate.
