Zach Lavarenne is in his final year of the Sexology program at UQAM, where he’s all about tapping into the creative and transformational potential of education. He’s especially passionate about working with boys and young men—helping them build critical thinking, emotional literacy, and the tools to navigate masculinity in all its complexity (and messiness) with care and authenticity.

In 2021, he threw his hat into the political ring as a Green Party candidate, driven by a deep commitment to social and environmental justice. When he’s not diving into big conversations about gender or systems change, you’ll probably find him writing music. He’s a singer-songwriter and member of the band Novae, where he explores the power of sound, story, and collective expression.
