Student Energy is a Global Youth-Led Organization
Our chapter at the University of Manitoba, SEUM, is one of over 50 Student Energy chapters worldwide. The global organization offers students with numerous opportunities to expand their knowledge on sustainable energy and make an impact through collaboration with other students, organizations, companies, and government. Each chapter is student-led and supported by Student Energy Global through mentorship to help build skills and gain knowledge.
In addition to the supporting Student Energy Chapters, Student Energy offers programs for youth including the SE Fellowship, SE Career Training, SE Guided Projects, and the biannual Student Energy Summit! Student Energy also completed the Global Youth Energy Outlook and created an Energy Systems Map. These programs and resources help youth in the Student Energy network gain leadership and career skills, as well as learn about sustainability and the energy sector from knowledgeable professionals around the world.

2023 Student Energy Chapters Net-Zero Symposium (SECNZS)
|
This summer some of our chapter executives had the opportunity to attend the Student Energy Chapters Net Zero Symposium Canada (SECNZS) in Vancouver. SECNZS united 13 Student Energy chapter leaders, representing various Canadian post-secondary institutions, for an enriching two-day event. We gathered to discuss Canada's energy transition commitments and strategize for the upcoming academic year. The symposium featured insights from Indigenous perspectives, led by Mihskakwan James Harper of Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, and delved into Canada's Net Zero objectives through interactions with experts like George Patrick Richard Benson from the Vancouver Economic Commission. Additionally, the event emphasized leadership development, equipping us student leaders to catalyze change within our local communities. We are optimistic that we now possess a deeper comprehension of Canada's net-zero journey and appreciate everyone's contribution to the event's success.
