Meet our exec team

Hello! I’m Kate, and I am a high school student from Markville Secondary School. I am currently an executive of The New Gen. Some of my hobbies include ballet, singing, and cooking. Although many like to contradict, my favourite subject is math! Although this is my first year working with the team, I am already anticipating what we will create to make a difference! I am thrilled to be part of The New Gen, and I hope to create true dream work, together with the group!

Learning is something that opens a door to many different possibilities; it provides community, knowledge, creativity, freedom, and more. Although I am not an immigrant myself, my parents are immigrants and I have witnessed first hand the struggles and obstacles they have to face when living in a whole other country. On the other hand, I grew up with the privilege to have access to as many art, piano, language, and math classes as I wanted because of them. Through this, I was able to recognize the importance of learning and exploring different things as well as how enriching the experience really is. Furthermore, it made me realize that many people are not as privileged as I am. This is why I joined The New Gen as I want to provide unprivileged communities the same experiences I was lucky enough to learn.

Hi! My name is Audrey Wu, I am a 16 year old student at Markville Secondary School. I enjoy swimming, playing tennis, photography, and hanging out with my friends and my dog during my spare time. I am a Chinese-Canadian born in Toronto; I moved back to China at the age of 3, then moved back to Canada again when I was 9. My life has been greatly impacted by having lived in two very different nations, and I am grateful for the lessons these two diverse cultures have taught me. My personal experience with immigration has shown me the importance of guidance and empowerment for immigrant families and youth seeking to establish a sense of community. I am passionate, devoted, and hard-working, and I am very excited to be part of the logistics team at The New Gen to work towards our mission!
