Girls are changing the world!

Girl Guides of Canada’s Change Maker Award celebrates the courageous and inspiring actions of girls from all branches and the compassionate young leaders they’re becoming.

No matter how big or small the change – whether our members are making a difference in their community or around the globe – our Change Maker Award is here to cheer girls on as they change the world.

If you have any questions, please reach out to changemakeraward@girlguides.ca
