Student, Gen Y
Ariel, Gen-Y, graduated from the Waldorf School in 2013. While there, she had the opportunity to volunteer with at-risk youth in Toronto schools. She also developed a love of travel through family and school trips, visiting Switzerland, Peru, Italy, Denmark , France, and England. Wanting to gain some experience, as well as feed her travel bug, she deferred her acceptance to the School of social work at McMaster University to spend 8 months volunteering at orphanages in Ghana, India, and Vietnam.
