About Us
We are Canada’s leading facilitator of transformational youth exchanges. Established in 1936 and previously known as SEVEC, our national registered charity connects thousands of young Canadians across the country every year.
These immersive travel experiences empower participants to build self-confidence, forge meaningful friendships, and gain a profound understanding of Canada’s diverse cultures and histories.
Mission
To use reciprocal youth exchanges as a vehicle to challenge perspectives, bridge communities, and build the lifelong confidence needed to foster mutual understanding across Canada.
Vision
A generation of open-minded, self-confident Canadians who are engaged in a larger world and celebrate our diverse cultures and histories.
