Call for Applications: Youth Action Project 2015

YOUTH ACTION PROJECT ON POVERTY 2015

A Chance to SPEAK, TAKE ACTION and CREATE CHANGE:

Tuesday nights starting September 22, 2015 from 6-8 pm

This four month project will bring together 20 young Edmontonians (16-26 yrs old) keen on addressing poverty in Edmonton and building on the tremendous impact YAP made last year with their recommendations to the Mayor’s Task Force on the Elimination of Poverty. Youth will meet weekly, hear from experts, build relationships with local service agencies and their clients and challenge the common discourse on poverty in Edmonton. As part of the program YOU will have the opportunity to make positive social change in your community and have your voice heard.

Youth of ALL backgrounds, abilities, languages and orientations are welcome!

This program will give young people a chance to have their voice heard in policy making and programming in Edmonton. We will dig into issues around gender, violence and so much more. Come out, be heard, speak up.

Deadline is August 30, 2015.

We would like to thank the Urban Partnerships Program for their support to this important project, funded in part by the Government of Canada and administered by the Alberta Native Friendship Centres' Association.
