Being Available to help is great - all round. And so is connecting with others. They are both real happiness boosters. So if you've got an idea or a knack for organising, why not make something happen for a good cause and get a real double whammy for happiness!

The "iModel Youth" Program has the power and potential to renew individuals, organizations and society."

This iModel Youth Multicultural Fashion Show features a fashion show, skits, and performances.

The event promotes a deeper understanding of different countries and the roots and histories of different cultures. Together, the art and the exploration and teaching of these forms, help in the development of self and community awareness.
