We've Been Hard at Work!

The Board, committee members, researchers, summer students, and volunteers at Youth in Care Canada have been working hard over the past few months to nurture new partnerships, organize fundraisers, grow our social media engagement, and research topics of paramount importance to youth in and from care! Our highlights include: fundraisers planned in Ottawa and Winnipeg in September, a survey on the implementation of children's rights in Canada, and our call for applications to join our Board of Directors!

YICC is distributing a survey to gather youth opinions on whether their rights are respected while they were/are in care. Responses will be used to shape YICC's report on the implementation of childrens' rights in Canada, from the perspective of youth in/from care. Help amplify youth voices by taking or sharing our survey today!

We're looking for new Board members! If you're a current or former youth in care of a Canadian child welfare authority, are 18 years old or older, and can volunteer 8-10 hours a month, you're eligible to join our Board of Directors. Whether you have years of experience with Boards or none at all, we need dedicated people to fill a few board positions and talented individuals to lend their skills and abilities to various committees. Apply to join our Board today or share this opportunity with youth in/from care who might be interested!
