![]() | CVYC Executive Applicaitons Available!Thank you for taking the time to read about the City of Victoria Youth Council’s recruitment campaign for 2010. As you may know, the City of Victoria Youth Council (CVYC) is officially supported by the City of Victoria as its youth leadership initiative focused on engaging and supporting young people to act as bridges between the youth community and city hall by bringing forward concerns, challenges and issues currently facing youth in the within the municipality. The CVYC is focused on enabling youth to get actively involved in civic issues through action within the municipal system and the greater community.Members of the CVYC gain important hands-on skills through working with diverse populations and refine interpersonal communication and networking skills. Members of the CVYC receive free training and have access to a variety of innovative and authentic career-building opportunities through their term on the council. The CVYC is currently recruiting for its 2010-2011 term. We are seeking interested and socially conscious youth 12-24 who are looking to make a difference in their community, through civic political structures, Council and staff. The CVYC’s work is purposeful and innovative, working diligently to act as a resource for youth who want to navigate the city system and build relationships and communicate effectively with city staff and community organizations all over Greater Victoria. In the past the CVYC has facilitated community forums, created civic literacy resources, and surveyed the youth community of the City of Victoria. This year the CVYC will be conducting a Youth Values Survey to assess the priorities of youth who live, work, go to school, access services, or hang out in the City of Victoria. We will be using the results of this survey to inform our own strategic priorities for the year, and we will be sharing our results with City of Victoria staff and elected officials. No prior experience is required nor is there a fee for participation.
