The 2016 GenNext Ambassador Symposium at Innovation Works brought together some of the best and brightest of our GenNext family. Complete with keynote speakers, delicious food, dynamic networking, and energizing break-out sessions, it was the perfect way to jump-start the greatest GenNext campaign yet!

275 Pop-Up Volunteers contributed 654 hours to 25 volunteer projects! That's 38% more volunteers than last year!

Since launching in 2015, the FCSSC - GenNext DoGooders have taken on 32 volunteer projects and completed over

500 hours of service!

"The DoGooders League gives us the opportunity to visit many United Way funded agencies. Without it, many of us would not be aware of the immense volunteering opportunities available. The league has truly opened our eyes and inspired many of us to continue to work with these agencies long-term." - Cari Ramsey (FCSSC)

"It helps out my family of five girls tremendously. It helps keep my daughters' little feet warm which is very important to me as a mom. They can get out and do activities in the snow without a worry."— London mom

Pairs of boots which means... 7,500 warm toes, 750 warm

GenNext volunteer teams served over 1,500 healthy breakfasts to children and youth through NRAWP and LUSO breakfast clubs!

Working together to #SOLVEHOMELESSNESSat Soup N' Bread!GenNext advocates underwent Rogers TV media training and conducted filmed interviews with community members at the spring Soup N' Bread event hosted by the London Homeless Coalition - the footage was compiled into a short docu-film that aired at the National Conference to End Homelessness.

GenNext Advocate Caterina Traini was recognized at United Way Labour

Appreciation Awards for her volunteer efforts on GenNext Cabinet and as

Ambassador at LHSC.

"As Canadians, giving back and creating positive change within our communities is just as much part of our DNA as hockey and Tim Horton's. We are known on the global stage for our friendliness and generosity and it's because we know the benefits that a hand up can have. Volunteering benefits our society by promoting trust, unity and creating a feeling of togetherness and possibility. GenNext affords me the opportunity to have a positive impact in my local community with the ability to support various United Way funded agencies and encourage others to follow suit."- Carlos Marques, TD Bank

This year, GenNext launched our first ever Signature Event, Square Peg, Round Hole! With 140 individuals in attendance, this event generated over $7,500 for the United Way Community Fund to support individuals and families living with issues related to mental health. This event brought awareness to traditionally taboo topics - mental health, vulnerability and addictions. It was a huge success and we are ecstatic to make Square Peg Round Hole an annual GenNext tradition!

The 2017 Mental Health Mix N' Learn series launched at Vanier Children's services. GenNexters participated in an eye-opening and crucial discussion about mental health challenges facing local youth and how we can all work to reduce the stigma and further develop critical programs.

Our social media campaign encouraged daily deeds of do-gooding during the festive season!

Are you an INFORMED CHAMPION or a PASSIONATE PROMOTER?GenNexters joined forces with the Poverty Over London campaign to challenge assumptions about poverty and build a better future for our neighbours.
