Over the past five years, Jami has been illuminating the way for countless women to lead with more courage, compassion, and audacity. Jami’s business is the first of its kind in Saskatchewan – wholly dedicated to inspiring, encouraging, and supporting women as they step into leadership. Via her vibrant online platform at www.jamiyoung.com, one-on-one coaching, innovative training programs, dynamic live events, and international speaking engagements, Jami has helped hundreds of female entrepreneurs, executives, and change-makers to boldly step into their power, embrace their unique gifts, and fiercely redefine success on their own terms.

Jami is highly recognized and appreciated as one of Saskatoon’s most involved community leaders, putting in hundreds of selfless hours each and every year. Jami’s commitment to philanthropy and volunteerism is unquestionable with contributions that have been substantial and far-reaching. She is a tireless ambassador and passionate advocate for the organizations she leads, serves, and supports. These organizations have included Creative Kids, the Core Neighbourhood Youth Co-op, the University of Saskatchewan, the Princess Shop, and International Day of the Girl.

In addition to being a dedicated non-profit leader and donor to many charitable organizations, Jami is actively engaged in BPW Saskatoon, regularly lending her communication, marketing, and fundraising expertise to the organization. In 2016, she founded the Accessory to a Change event, which aims to raise money for Indigenous and mature women to access post-secondary educational opportunities.

Jami has been named as one of CBC’s Future 40, received the Athena Young Professional Award, and was recognized by the Association of Fundraising Professionals as an Honoured Supporter.
