justgeneration.ca Seeking: Energy on Youth Council
The youth network of The Primate's World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) needs your help! We are a national Council of young people who are passionate about justice, faith and the work of PWRDF. We are young adults aged 16-30 from all across Canada, full of energy and passion, and we are looking to fill some vacancies on Council starting this Spring! Are you the kind of person who is responsible, committed to justice work, loves to travel, works well in a group setting and wants to make a difference? Do you know someone who is all of those things?
Youth Council is made up of representatives from all 4 of the Ecclesiastical Provinces of the Anglican Church of Canada, as well as reps from PWRDF's partners, like the ELCIC (Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada), Development and Peace, and the Student Christian Movement. It is a very diverse crowd, and we need to get even more diverse with fresh new faces. Currently we are seeking:
• two (2) representatives from the Province of British Columbia/Yukon,
• one (1) representative from the Province of Rupertsland,
• one (1) representative from the Province of Ontario, and
• one (1) representative from the Province of Canada.
Members of Council are appointed for one term of two years, with the option to renew their term for another two. We meet face-to-face twice a year in locations all of over Canada, once in the fall and once in the spring. In between meetings we all work hard promoting the work of PWRDF where we live, helping to run local events and educate congregations. The Council has occasional teleconferences in between the face-to-face meetings.
Many members of Council have had the opportunity to go on Partner visits to places like Burundi, Bangladesh and Brazil. Others have gone on to sit on the PWRDF Board of Directors. The Council has been represented at Justice Camps and youth ministry forums, and is building a very good reputation within Primate's Fund and the wider Anglican Church.
It also goes without saying the Council is a lot of fun! Members really enjoy the time we spend together working hard towards goals and developing our shared passion, but we also have a great time when we're not working – you'll find yourself making fast friends with members.
Do you see yourself working with 15 other young people your own age to help make the world a better place? Well then, fill in the questionnaire below before March 4th, 2011!
