The Canada Desk is an independent youth-led initiative based in Ottawa and Toronto dedicated to connecting Canadians with the world. We bridge diplomacy, trade, and cultural understanding through policy research, youth engagement, and global collaboration.
Founded by Jacob Greene, a University of Ottawa student passionate about foreign affairs and international development, The Canada Desk helps youth, policymakers, and small organizations navigate Canada’s role on the global stage.

We organize workshops and initiatives that empower students to explore diplomacy, international relations, and cross-cultural exchange.
We collaborate with community leaders, MPs, and non-profits to strengthen Canada’s global engagement at the grassroots level.
