Eliana Charlebois-Gómez
Coordinatrice, opérations et événements
Eliana wants to live in a world filled with creative problem-solving ideas, compassionate hearts, projects and a force field around her that attracts interesting and innovative people.
Born in Colombia, from a Canadian father and a Colombian mother and raised in seven different countries, she quickly learned to navigate the complex dynamics and the beauty that comes with diversity and as a result rapidly adapted to any new situation and challenge. She enjoys wearing several hats simultaneously, thrives in creative environments where no two-work days are the same, and flourishes when learning from the knowledge and experiences of others.
Her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science from McGill and her love for people allowed her to travel to her birth country to work with the YMCA in one of the most complex and interestingly challenging neighborhoods of Medellin, Colombia. There, she worked hand in hand with youth offering them a safe haven where they were encouraged to create projects, take English and theatre classes, and, above all, explore their creativity and their talents. Then, she completed an Education and Pedagogy Certificate and moved on to become an English and Art teacher in two different schools in Medellin. Being in her mother’s hometown made her want to get more involved in community development and help in any way she could. This aspiration led her to travel in 15 Colombian cities as a logistics and event coordinator, organizing electoral debates between mayoral candidates and facilitating clean election workshops.
After four inspiring years full of exciting experiences, Eliana decided it was time to come back to Montreal in order to share ideas, develop projects and never stop learning from this wonderful city.

Gioel Gioacchino
Conseillère, conception des programmes et engagement stratégique
Gioel is in continual pursuit of connection with others. She spends a lot of time thinking about deepening relationships across cultures and sectors. In 2010 she co-founded Recrear, a Canadian charity working to integrate young people more genuinely in community development through participatory action research. Recrear’s projects have taken Gioel to learn from young people and practitioners from Ecuador to Bangladesh, to Malawi and beyond.
In 2012-2013, Gioel had the opportunity to become a Sauvé Fellow. She remained so inebriated with the vibe at Sauvé House that she became involved with the Foundation’s strategic review. In 2015, she supported the Foundation with the design and implementation of the Alumni engagement strategy. Currently, she is working with the Foundation to help design a fun, vibrant orientation program for the incoming 2017-19 cohort.
She brings to the Foundation a mix between academic research, and a passion for facilitating collective processes. Gioel holds a BA in International Studies from the University of New Orleans and an MPhil in Development Studies from Cambridge University. She is currently a PhD candidate at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) in Brighton, UK. Through a case study of Colombian youth organizations, Gioel’s PhD project explores how different funding models affect organizational culture as well as the quality of social organizations’ internal and external relationships.
