Marigold Mioc makes a point of volunteering at least once a week, which is more often than many adults do anything. At age five, she started her own business making and selling headbands and donated all proceeds to charity. When she was nine, she started volunteering with the Love with Humanity Association, helping with food drives and hamper delivery. At 11, she created a video about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as part of a year-long fellowship. At 13, she was invited to speak about human connection and mental well-being at an educational conference in Italy. In 2019, she met Malala Yousafzai, one of her idols, at The Art of Leadership for Women in Calgary. Today, she has received more than a dozen local, provincial and national community service awards for her ongoing work.

“Being able to see from other people’s perspectives is probably the most important skill to have.”
