Our next leadership camps are in Spring 2025, in-person in downtown Toronto and online
Support environmentalism by repairing broken electronic devices, and preventing them from going to landfills. Host a broken electronics drop-off clinic, where devices will be repaired and given back to their owners. With a rise in electronic waste, it is important that we salvage what we can!

How might this help your community?
Many people cannot afford to replace their broken electronic devices. The aim of this event is to repair electronics that can be saved, and ensure that no technology is being unnecessarily sent to the landfill.
This will allow many youths who have experience in repairing technology to give back to their communities. It also promotes ideas of preventing the creation of e-waste, and the environmental practice of restoring instead of replacing.
