Amin Ali is a Grade 11 student at Sir John A Macdonald
Collegiate Institute in Scarborough. Amin became involved with the
Student Senate, (formerly SuperCouncil) in 2015 in order to advocate
for youth and amplify the student voice. At that time he served as
Sponsorship and Outreach Coordinator for the Learning Centre 2 Initiative
of PRISM: The Art of a Healthy Mind, which was an art gala that
featured over 40 pieces of student-created visual and performing art that
was dedicated to raising awareness for mental health and self-care. Amin
was then elected to serve as Learning Centre 2 Co-Chair and now
serves as Student Trustee.
Outside of his interest in student advocacy, Amin is very
passionate about politics and public policy and often spends his time either
following international elections or volunteering for civic engagement
organizations.
During his term as Student Trustee, Amin hopes
to make the TDSB more equitable for all students and have the work of
the board be more accessible and engaging for students.
