Guiding Us Through an Inspiring Morning
We’re thrilled to welcome back Komal Minhas as our event host.
A Fortune and CTV News contributor and founder of Karseva, she brings warmth, insight, and a rare ability to spark meaningful connection. Komal will guide us through a powerful morning of conversation and moments that will move and inspire you. You’ll hear from a former client who has come full circle and is now giving back to YSB in a truly special way. His story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when young people are given the chance to rise.
This event and this movement is about Justice for All Youth.
The countdown to an extraordinary RISE & THRIVE event starts now and we want you with us!
