Founder and CEO

Hello, Canada! Thank you all for being a part of the Youth of Canada community! 

​

I hope that YOC helps you find your passion, provides you with some experiential learning, and aids you in making your future the brightest it can be. Get out there, and be awesome!

Myra Godara

Director of Internal Operations

I live in Markham, Ontario as a Grade 11 IB student at St. Robert Catholic High School. Although my schedule is always hectic, I enjoy spending time with my family and just relaxing whenever I can.

​

My ultimate goal in YOC is I want to help other students who were like me, find their inner potential as I know they have the power to do it, they just need the opportunity to do so :)

​

 I am currently a grade 11 student from Ontario. Throughout my time at high school, Youth of Canada has opened several doors for me and has helped me to be in the position I am today! I am so grateful for the organization and I hope that you will be able to say the same.

Director of External Operations

Vidhi Ruparel

Director of Logistics

I was born in India, and I’m currently residing in the Greater Toronto Area, while studying at Bur Oak Secondary School in Markham.

 

When I came to Canada, I did not know about the opportunities offered for youth. I was inspired by Youth of Canada’s purpose of helping youth find their passion by making opportunities accessible. 

 

I love learning about new technologies and entrepreneurship! And when no one’s watching, you’d find me trying to practice new languages and accents! 

 

I hope that through my contribution towards YOC, you would be able to become the best version of yourself! And when you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat. Just get on!

Vivek Patil

Director of Outreach and External Affairs

Hello Canada! I was born and raised in Waterloo, Ontario and now am in my second year of Medical Sciences at Western University.

 

I feel that organizations like Youth of Canada are a strongly beneficial resource for students wishing to advance their careers and experiences by making opportunities more accessible to everyone. 

 

I hope you take some time to explore the hundreds of amazing opportunities we have, and hopefully you find one for you!

Sherin Kalathil

Research Development Director

I am from the Greater Toronto Area, currently in my junior year at St. Edmund Campion Secondary School. 

 

I was drawn to the Youth of Canada as I know how hard it can be to find opportunities to grow and succeed, and how rewarding it can be to find new passions! 

 

I hope our work here at YOC inspires all of you to pursue your passions and get out of your comfort zone - here's to becoming the best versions of ourselves!

Stacy Zhang

Social Media & Graphics Coordinator

I was raised in New Brunswick and China, and currently reside in the Greater Toronto Area as an intensive arts high school student, majoring in music.

 

I have always wanted to pursue my passions in a more professional environment - for me, graphic design was the way to go!

 

I hope that my contributions to Youth of Canada can help you find your passion, and help you discover ways to incorporate what you love into both your casual and professional life. Get out there and try something new!
