ENACTUS MCGILL SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE ABOUT ENACTUS MCGILL ABOUT ENACTUS MCGILL Enactus McGill is a group of talented and motivated students from McGill University striving to make a difference in their community and improving the quality of life through entrepreneurial action. This organisation is composed of students representing all faculties within McGill University. We strive to create a long-term impact on the communities and businesses that we are involved with. Whether it be by providing education to Syrian refugees, coaching young students to become entrepreneurs or empowering the homeless with their recycling business, our projects reach a diverse community both locally and nationally. Our 6 projects targets individuals of all ages, background and ethnicity and address the needs of education, social sustainability and entrepreneurship. Every year, we travel to the Regional and National Competitions where we compete against 50 teams from across Canada and showcase our work to our country s top CEOs serving as judges. National champion teams advance to the prestigious Enactus World Cup to experience excellence in competition, collaboration and celebration. "I am proud to lead a unique organisation such as Enactus McGill. If we consider last year to be Enactus McGill s childhood, then this year is our adolescence: we ve tripled in size to well over 90 members, we ve launched three new projects and we are primed to become a major actor in the social entrepreneurship community. Enactus is the type of organization where you get as much as you put in, and I am excited to see how much impact Enactus McGill can have this year." Enactus McGill is proud to have recently initiated several unique entrepreneurial projects to benefit the Montreal community. Pierre-Laurent Madicris President of Enactus McGill

This project aims to solve the need that Syrian refugees have for better integration in the workforce upon arriving to Montreal.

We will empower them to go beyond a survival state and thrive here in Montreal. Through a mentoring program with MBA students, we will help them overcome various barriers such as paperwork, lack of connections and of knowledge of the Canadian labor market, and lack of certification transfer, we will aim to connect Syrians with further resources (i.e. language tutoring for parents and kids) and thrive here in Montreal. WHAT WE NEED In order to continue reaching as many Syrian refugees in Montreal, we need your help! 1 1
OPPORTUTORING Certified English lessons At about 21 000 strong, Montreal has the largest Syrian community in Canada. The city has taken in a large part of the 3 555 Syrian refugees who have arrived in Quebec since the beginning of 2015, and will play a large role in welcoming another 5 310 refugees in the months to come. However, upon arrival these refugees struggle to find work due to language problems. Thus, the refugees are not being given work involving speaking with clients or working with others. In Quebec there is no government sponsored English language program. Our project, will provide language classes supervised by certified language professors to 15 Syrian refugees here in Montreal. We will provide each of them with learning material, in addition to having 2 to 3 student volunteers meet with them a few times a week. They will take a ACTFL certified language test both at the beginning and the end of the program to measure their progress, with the projected outcome being that they reach a Effective operational proficiency level.

Furthermore, will need funding to go meet the students in Greece and Turkey to meet the students and provide a more complete learning program.
