This panel dives into the story behind FES—not just what they do but how they got here—providing insights into their journey from a grassroots initiative engaging 500 schools, 400 towns, and 100,000 youth in Indigenous, rural, and remote areas from 2016 to 2020, to its new era as a youth-led support structure that has provided $1.5M to support the scaling and implementation of over 151 youth-led projects, leveraging an additional $4.5M through training and wrap-around support. Throughout its years, FES has maintained its youth-led nature and community roots.
