What people have to say.

  • "It was such an enriching experience having the CityShapers program in my classroom! The content is really engaging and dynamic, there's a great variety of activities and I feel it's a great catalyst for meaningful learning."

    Grade 12 Teacher • CityShapers in Schools

  • "I'm so glad I applied for this program. It was a fantastic opportunity to engage with like minded young BIPOC, make connections and really feel like being part of a community. I was able to learn so much in such a short time about planning, our civic systems and how I fit into them as a citizen. I highly recommend signing up for the program if you're interested in learning about and improving our built environments and make some great friends along the way.”

    Participant • Urban ReVision

  • "The Envirolab exceeded my expectations because of the variety of sessions and experts bought into the program. I really enjoyed learning about how to develop business ideas, non-profits, and other similar initiatives--Because that’s an area that I don’t know as much about, and the Envirolab planted the seed."

    Participant • Envirolab

  • "From the moment I joined, I was embraced by a vibrant community of like-minded individuals who all shared a deep passion for sustainability and climate action. Seeing the progress my team and I were able to accomplish and feeling the strong sense of camaraderie and collaboration within the cohort I was a part of has genuinely filled me with optimism about the future."
