Winston is a UBC student studying Neuroscience and is passionate about making healthcare and community spaces more accessible and supportive for young people. His experiences engaging with children, coaching students, and working in community programs have shown him the importance of meeting people’s practical and emotional needs. He co-founded Peace Packs after seeing how isolating and overwhelming difficult healthcare experiences can feel.
Peace Packs
Peace Packs is a youth-led initiative that creates thoughtful care packages for children and youth experiencing hospitalization, housing insecurity, or other difficult circumstances. Each package combines practical necessities with comforting and engaging items, such as hygiene products, sensory tools, journals, and activities. The project works with volunteers and community partners to assemble and distribute packages where they are most needed, helping recipients feel supported, cared for, and less alone during challenging moments.
