The virtual JA Youth Success Summit is developed and hosted by JA Canada. Its purpose is for high school participants to develop universal success skills and unlock their leadership potential.

JA student delegates from across Canada will hear from speakers and participate in an engaging program centered around 10 skills required for personal and professional success. A virtual expo will give delegates the opportunity to see Company Program products and services from across the country.

Date: Saturday, April 24, 2021

Time: 12:00-3 p.m. EST

All students enrolled in the Company Program Student Course on jacampus.org will automatically be signed up for the Success Skills program. In order to participate in the JA Youth Success Summit, students will be required to complete four (4) modules within the Success Skills program. It should take approximately one (1) hour to complete these modules. The Success Skills program introduces students to the 10 universal success skills. Each module contains the definition of the Success Skill as well as content and activities designed to teach students more about that skill.

While students are encouraged to complete all 10 modules, after completing four, they will unlock the link to the event. The event is being run on Hopin and participants will be required to create an account on the Hopin platform prior to the event. Once they create their Hopin account, they can join the event through the link provided.

The JA Youth Success Summit is a private event.

Thanks to the support of the McCall MacBain Foundation, we are pleased to provide full bursaries to all students who participate therefore there is NO COST involved. The regular cost of the virtual JA Youth Success Summit would be $200/participant.
