Nominated by Music for Every Child

All 2024 Children’s Peace Prize Nominees

Inspired by the resilience and enthusiasm of students in the special education program she volunteered with, Samantha founded the charity ‘Music For Every Child’. This initiative focuses on mobilizing youth and providing music therapy to children with special needs. Under her leadership, the charity has recruited over 200 youth volunteers and raised more than $200,000 to fund weekly music therapy sessions, now offered in 22 schools across five major cities in Ontario. Her program’s impact is extensive, benefiting over 300 neurodivergent children annually and gaining substantial media attention and governmental support.
