YOUTH LEADER SERIES


Chafic Bouchakra is from Ottawa, Ontario (Canada) and is working on his Bachelor of Science, studying Environmental Science at Carleton University. He first started his work with the environment in grade 12 when he helped start and lead a high school group named Students Against Violating Earth (S.A.V.E.) at St. Mark Catholic High School. S.A.V.E helps to turn the school green, by funding and installing 3 slot recycle bins all over the school, and starting the Rideau River Water Project, where they researched native plants and planted these plants in strategic locations upstream of the Ottawa River to monitor changes in toxic levels entering from that specific stream. He also helped plan and attended the Second International Youth Symposium on Biodiversity and plans to attend COP10 with full hope of making a difference! He is part of the Science Student Success Center at Carleton University mentoring 1st years and other students on how to succeed in science and plans on being a frosh facile this coming school year! He loves working with others and making sure that everyone around him has a blast! He can't wait to do what he can for the environment and have fun at the same time! Help SAVE the world and keep it clean while having the time of his life!
