Do you want to meet new people, use your voice, gain new skills, share your talents, and have something meaningful to add to your resume? Volunteer Victoria and the City of Victoria invite youth who live, work, or attend school in to join the Youth Advisory Council and have fun while making a difference.
Description
The Council is made up of youth between the ages of 14 and 25 years old who gather for a few hours each month (in person and/or online) to create, lead, and manage projects and activities in the City of Victoria. Think everything from having a say about the City's new website to sharing ideas about safe youth spaces.
