Mission Statement

The Federation of Canadian Secondary Students / Fédération des élèves du secondaire au Canada (FCSS-FESC) is an entirely non-partisan youth-led charity that aims to inform, educate, and ultimately empower high school students to foster social justice initiatives in their schools and local communities. We use a mutual aid model where students are at the centre of our programs and initiatives. We encourage students to challenge systems of power that perpetuate social disadvantage and actively ground our work in an anti-oppressive and intersectional framework.

Description

Since 2012, the FCSS-FESC has grown from a grassroots group of secondary students at Abbey Park High School in Oakville, ON into a registered charity with operations in Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario.

Over the years, we have shifted focus many times, from student advocacy to student support. Today, the FCSS-FESC is focused on giving secondary students the tools to effect change in their local schools and communities with an approach grounded in social justice and mutual aid.
