International youth projects

Neeje's work with youth has taken an international dimension on various occasions. Our Association has sponsored youth involved with special projects such as:

UNIV International Congress
UNIV is held annually in Rome during Holy Week. This event gathers university students from around the globe to discuss issues relevant to their experiences on campus and to their upcoming professional life. It also gives them an opportunity to spend this most meaningful time of the liturgical year in the heart of Christianity. Students attending activities or residing at Valrideau University Residence have taken part in this congress on several occasions since the 1990s and have drawn from it deep insights into their faith and their future role as academics and professional women.

World Youth Day
Now a tradition for Catholic and all Youth, World Youth Days have been attracting Canadians since their inception in the 1980's. Neeje has encouraged youth to respond to John Paul II's call by organizing trips to World Youth Days held in Denver, Paris and Toronto. The event has a powerful impact on teens and young women who make the necessary sacrifices to take part in this great celebration of faith and unity. They return filled with confidence in their beliefs and values. Their contact with youth from all continents and with the Pope gives them a vision that will inspire them to become leaders.

Service project in the developing world
Over the years, Valrideau has taken part in El Refuerzo, a service project for Canadian college and university students held during the summer. Through their involvement with a local educational initiative for rural women in Canete, Peru, the students have learned invaluable lessons about team-work, accountability, generosity and selflessness, consumerism and the value of every individual. The hard work involved in fundraising for their trip made them want to take advantage of every second of their experience in South America to learn and then come home and share with others their new vision of life, humanity and hope.
