Halifax Regional Municipality is currently recruiting for members of the Youth Advisory Committee. We're looking for 12 youth between the ages of 15-24 to be part of the committee. Apply online in 5 easy steps [PDF]! Applications will be accepted from October 19 to November 11, 2018. Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) are found here.
The Youth Advisory Committee will advise and assist Regional Council, through the Executive Standing Committee, on how municipal policies, programs, and services affect youth, and challenge the areas where we can do better. Committee members will regularly engage with youth throughout the municipality to:
• Help youth shape the future of our municipality
• Bring unheard voices to Regional Council
• Educate youth on policies and decisions that affect them
• Identify and remove barriers facing youth
• Help make our local government more diverse
More detail about the committee’s role can be found in the Terms of Reference (Administrative Order 2017-011-GOV) [PDF]. Read the Regional Council report establishing the Youth Advisory Committee here, and learn about the Youth Services Plan here.
