about us
The Meraki Initiative is a Canadian student-led non-profit organization made up of passionate high school, undergraduate, and medical students. Meraki is a modern Greek word meaning to do something with soul, creativity, and passion—essentially, to put a piece of yourself into your work. We chose this name because it reflects our values and aspirations. Every member of our team is deeply committed to driving change and advancing equity in society. We work on a diverse range of projects, from community-based volunteering to social media advocacy. Feel free to explore our website to learn more about our ongoing work and future goals!
Some of our PROJECTS
The Meraki Peer Mentorship Program
A free mentorship program for students with learning disabilities, BIPOC students, and immigrant students. We aim to provide students with a safe environment that will allow them to comfortably learn and play alongside our enthusiastic volunteers. All students will be matched with a mentor who is best suited for them. Weekly mentoring sessions and fun monthly classes will be provided.
