The Next Generation of Leaders

Operation Smile recognizes the power of an engaged youth. We continue to create a more compassionate world by harnessing the strengths of the next generation. Operation Smile encourages youth to model leadership and advocacy, often times through our Smile Movement.

The GLIMPSE Kids are a group of third-grade students who learn about kindness, empathy, and leadership from their teacher, Rob Aguiar. For the last five years, they have focused on making the world a better place by hosting fundraising initiatives in support of Operation Smile. Their hard work and dedication have contributed to delivering more than 200 smiles, creating a lasting impact in the lives of our patients, while promoting kindness through their school and community here in Toronto.
