Nominations Open for 'Yes I Can' Leadership Awards!




What is the Yes I Can Leadership Award?

The 'Yes I Can' Leadership Awards, by the Nellie McClung Foundation, celebrate five outstanding young self-identified women aged 16-25, showcasing their achievements in a video profile series. This initiative aims to inspire confidence and empowerment among girls by highlighting diverse accomplishments in fields like science, business, politics, and more.


Many studies have highlighted that as young girls journey through their teenage years, they often experience a significant drop in self-confidence. In response, the Nellie McClung Foundation is actively finding ways to empower girls and young women, enabling them to envision their potential future and nurturing a belief in the mantra, 'Yes, I Can.'


These young individuals are building upon the achievements of the trailblazing women who came before them, making strides in diverse fields such as science, business, politics, medicine, education, and beyond.


Mindscape Studios has partnered with the Nellie McClung Foundation to create a video profile dedicated to each award recipient. These videos aim to unveil the unique journey and story of each recipient, with a powerful mission to ignite inspiration among fellow young women and girls.​
