Canadian secondary schools are going wild with WWF-Canada, creating leadership opportunities and student experiences in building a sustainable future.

If you are a teacher, consider a classroom brainstorming session to shape your Go Wild proposal, or host a student pitch competition to identify a project or two to submit to WWF-Canada for funding.
