Taking the cause further

Deeply dedicated to the well-being of Quebec teens, the Foundation’s team benefits daily from the expertise and professionalism of our Board of Directors members, who come to us from the business and mental health sectors.

We are proud to present this extraordinary team. This generous, motivated group of individuals never counts the time or effort they put in to maximize the impact our Foundation has in the community.

Our young people are our greatest asset and our best investment for the future.

I love the approach taken by Youth in Mind Foundation—the way they join several causes affecting young people. My involvement in this organization stimulates me, is in line with my values, and allows me to give back to the community, all while creating a business network and extraordinary friendships.
