About Ryerson
|
Founded in the 2015-2016 year by Deepa Prashad and Serena Harding, Ryerson Me to We is a group dedicated to uniting the Ryerson community by raising awareness about local and global issues while raising funds to support WE Charity (formerly known as, Free the Children) projects. Our goal is to inspire and encourage students to explore their leadership potential by allowing them to take action on issues that matter most to them, while making the world a better place. We believe that each and every person has the ability to make a positive difference in the world, no matter how big or small: we provide opportunities for those who aspire to do so.

Impact |
In its founding year, Ryerson Me to We aimed to fundraise $10'000.00 to build a school in India. Though in its infancy, our team was able to fundraise $15'000.00 within six months, exceeding what was required. The remaining $5000.00 was used to furnish the schoool, as well as to supply students with pencils and books. The following year, $1'100.0o was raised to support the Education Pillar in India.
