Chapters

EWB brings together university students and professionals to grow their knowledge and invest in their leadership capacities to address the root causes of poverty and inequality and work towards a thriving and sustainable world. 

Across Canada, our Chapter members take thoughtful, strategic actions to create profound social impact in their colleges, universities, companies, and within their local communities. From grass-roots change to influencing Canadian governmental policy, Chapters play a vital role in enacting change at all levels of the system.

Our Chapter community makes contributions on a national and international scale: affecting consumer choices, evolving education curriculums, influencing foreign policy, and more. A core part of our programming builds upon our Member’s knowledge base and enhances their capacities to lead and take action. We take a unique approach to accomplish this feat by supporting our Chapters to be self-governed through their own volunteer Presidents and Executive Council and, hand in hand with their Chapter Membership, make collective efforts to address one central cause with a common strategy to overcome social justice.

As a Member of our Chapter network, you will be equipped with leadership skills, tools and opportunities to create meaningful impact, and your voice will help determine directions of systems change action within your Chapter because, at EWB, we believe good intentions are not enough, and that to create lasting change requires a fundamental shift in how our world works.

JOINING A CHAPTER

Focusing on our Community:
Across Canada, chapter members at universities and in professional networks take thoughtful and strategic action to create profound social impact at their schools, their workplaces, and in their communities.

College and University Chapters

From Newfoundland to British Columbia, there are over 32 chapters where you can grow outside the classroom, elevate your leadership skills and apply your knowledge in your community and beyond to create a new and more equitable world for everyone! 

Student chapters provide the opportunity to be a part of a community of like-minded people and to develop skills such as public speaking, networking, and leadership. We like to take a different approach by working collectively within chapters to overcome challenges as a team, consulting multiple perspectives and looking to take tangible action to change the world we live in. Whether you are an aspiring Junior Fellow or a member looking to take local action, everyone wants to change the systems we live in to make the world a more equitable place.

Although belonging to the student chapter is only possible during collegiate years, alumni from college and university chapters have the opportunity to flow directly into professional chapters upon graduation.
