To best support young people, we need to listen to them. That's exactly why the RCMP has a National Youth Advisory Committee (NYAC).
Help us find the young leaders who will make up the 2020-2021 NYAC! Applicants must be:
- Canadian residents
- Between the ages of 13 and 21
- Ready to engage for two to four hours per month on an online forum, from October to June
The deadline to submit an application is September 11, 2020.
What's in it for them? There are many reasons youth should get involved, including:
- Help shape RCMP youth programs and strategies
- Connect with youth from coast to coast to coast
- Hear from and interact with RCMP officers and experts
- Get a reference letter and volunteer hours
NYAC members discuss important issues they face in their communities. Their insight can help create positive change. Help us spread the word. For all the details, visit the RCMP website.
