Promoting Zero Waste and Resource Recovery in Oxford. With: Transition to Less Waste, Cycles of Life Are you a youth (aged 15-30) interested in creating community change for yourself and other youth in Oxford County? Do you want to be a leader in your community? If you have at least 3 hours a month you can spare, you may be just the youth innovator we’re looking for! We are seeking diverse youth from Oxford County to be volunteer Youth Innovators guiding the Communities Building Youth Futures (CBYF) initiative. Our main goals are to increase high school graduation rates and improve youth outcomes in Oxford County. We focus on areas related to mental health, youth inclusion, youth employment and futures, accessibility of information, and rural challenges. As a youth innovator, you would attend meetings twice a month, usually during after-school hours. Your role would be to collaborate with other youth, and representatives from local organizations to identify the needs of youth in our community and create and implement projects that will address these recognized needs and gaps. You will receive a $20 gift card for every meeting attended, as well as volunteer hours for your time. Transportation can be provided to meetings if needed. Our vision is that all youth in Oxford County will feel a sense of belonging in our community and hope for their future. The first steps in doing so are to ensure youth are at the center of all of our efforts. If interested, please email nethnie.nandadasa@spcoxford. ca or call/text 226-503-4083.
