FOR
HOPE
HUMANITY
Hope for Humanity is a non-profit, student-led organization focused on raising awareness and money for humanitarian issues. It was founded in 2018 by two high school students in Toronto, Amy Li and Lauren Koek. With an interest in science and the drive to make a difference, they decided to start by raising awareness and money for neuroblastoma research for SickKids Foundation. While they encountered many obstacles in their journey, they never gave up. They are also proud founders of Future Lawyers, another non-profit student-led organization dedicated to inspiring, empowering, and educating students interested in law on all that they need and want to know.
