Proud On Campus
Empowering 2SLGBTQ+ Students Across Canadian Universities
the next generation of leaders
Empowerment Begins on campus
In Canada’s diverse, inclusive society, university campuses should be a haven for all students, regardless of their identity. Start Proud is working directly with queer student groups at Canadian universities to make this a reality. Through our Proud on Campus Program, we strive to ensure that queer students can access the resources they need, right on campus.



Partnering with Pride
The power of partnership is at the heart of the Proud on Campus Program. We work hand in hand with queer student groups, offering support, advocacy, and the tools needed to make a difference on campus. Through these partnerships, we hope to enrich the university experience for queer students and create a sense of belonging that fosters personal and academic growth.
Resources At Your Reach
Start Proud is proud to provide a wealth of resources to our campus partners. We provide tools such as educational materials, advocacy training, and access to networking events. These resources are designed to help student groups support their members navigate their university years, supporting their academic journeys while also cultivating a stronger sense of identity and community.
Opportunities Awaiting
At Start Proud, we’re not just about providing resources – we’re about creating opportunities. Our Proud on Campus Program connects students with internships, scholarships, and mentorship programs specifically geared toward the queer community. We understand it’s not just about getting through university but setting the stage for a successful, fulfilling career.
