TakingITGlobal brings to Canada the world's largest organiza on for
youth. Do Something started in the United States and now has over
3.3 million youth involved in causes and having fun while they're at
it. Do Something Canada launched 10 new campaigns in 2014. One
of our biggest campaigns, Teens for Jeans, saw over 65,000 pairs of
jeans donated to homeless youth with the help of nearly 900 schools
across Canada!

The "pen pals" concept needed an update! Culture Connect is a digital
exchange program for young people. Strangers who come from different
cultural backgrounds yet have something in common are brought
together.
This year TakingITGlobal began matching par cipants by theme –
convening connec ons among Migrants, Musicians, and Women in
STEM. Thanks to support from BMW and the UN Alliance of Civiliza ons,
35 par cipants from 25 countries met for four weeks to share about
common challenges and celebrate differences.
