The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is a fun and structured way for youth to share their opinions and perspectives on our programming, policies, and strategic direction. Our Council members will also be able to participate in workshops about food systems and leadership, and will work together to build on self-selected skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The primary purpose of the YAC is to advise on our Youth in Food Systems (YFS) programming and elevate youth voices within our projects. Prioritizing the contributions of the YFS primary stakeholder group improves the relevancy of our work, and allows for the interests and needs of young people across southern Ontario to be better integrated into program design, execution, and evaluation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The YAC\u2019s activities may include online meetings, workshops, independent research, and review of staff\u2019s task priorities; all of which are to enable the Council to discuss and develop thoughtful recommendations while learning and skill building alongside their peers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our goal is for the YAC to be made up of youth from across Southern Ontario that represent various cultural and socioeconomic groups.<\/span><\/p>\n
