National campus clubs and high school clubs

Across Canadian schools and universities, students run World Vision Clubs to mobilize global change through thinking globally and acting locally in community. WV Clubs self-organize activities such as fundraisers for humanitarian aid or development programs, educational events like documentary screenings, or volunteering with local charities.

Our university clubs are active in: UBC, U Alberta, U Calgary, McGill, U Ottawa, MacMaster, York, Western, U of Guelph, and U Waterloo.

If a student doesn’t see a WV club in their existing school, they are invited to start a club with support, tools, and resources from World Vision staff.
