Youth+Us partners are enriching the lives of young people in the communities where we live and work, providing them with access to more opportunities that inspire confidence, creativity, and character. These moments of joy and potential allow these remarkable youth to celebrate diversity, discover what drives them, and develop important life skills – ultimately enhancing mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
Whether through sports, the arts, music, emotional support, or social activities, K+S Potash Canada is proud to share their stories, using their own words to illustrate the impact that our meaningful partnerships have on an entire generation of inspiring, creative, resilient, and talented future leaders.
