2025 Leadership Forum: Investing in Careers, Community & Mentorship

Fora’s 2025 Leadership Forum is where young leaders, mentors, and sector shapers come together to lead intersectional change—across nonprofits, corporate spaces, and their communities.

Hosted by Fora in Toronto, on October 17th, this one-day experience features conversation-driven panels, interactive workshops, and intentional networking designed to spark momentum that lasts well beyond the day.

Participants will leave with tools to navigate their careers with clarity, challenge outdated systems, and enter leadership in a way that's collaborative, equity-driven, and unapologetically future-focused.
