Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society Ottawa Valley Chapter: Youth Program: Nature For Everyone, Everywhere!
Are you passionate about nature and looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in your community? Nature for Everyone, Everywhere! is a new program lead by CPAWS Ottawa Valley for youth (ages 18-30) in the Ottawa Valley who want to get involved in environmental stewardship and civic engagement. The goal of this new program is to engage youth to become champions for nature through civic engagement and volunteering programs to be co-created by the youth with support from CPAWS-OV. We aim to provide youth opportunities to gain the knowledge, skills, tools and supports needed to successfully complete flexible service placements, with training sessions, opportunities to be mentored by others to achieve their goals. Volunteer service placements will address a community need, including, but not limited to the lack of access to nature among newcomer communities, for example.
Application deadline is April 30st 2025
