There are many game changers within the True North organization whose efforts do not make it onto a scoreboard or stat sheet.
Three of them happen to be the women behind the True North Youth Foundation's Project 11 - a mental wellness initiative designed to engage Manitoba's youth in important conversations about mental health and to make these conversations a part of everyday life in and out of the classroom.
Suzi Friesen, Kerri Waldbauer, and Angeli Booz left the familiarity of their jobs in the classroom to work with Project 11 - an opportunity that not only combines their passion for mental wellness with teaching, but which significantly broadens the impact they have on students - and teachers - from one classroom at a time, to more than 1,000 each year.
