Youth Voices
YOUTH VOICES – YOUTH COMMUNITY CONNECTORS
Youth Voices is a committee of youth between the ages of 13 – 24 years old called the Youth Community Connectors (YCC). YCC works to rally and engage fellow youth living in the North of McKnight communities, in creative projects and initiatives, housed at the Genesis Centre – 1000 Voices. These youth will plan cooperative social projects throughout the school year. In addition, YCC through Calgary Foundation and North East Family Connections Northern Lights Small Grant Initiative is responsible for reviewing and granting youth-initiated projects and youth-serving agencies up to a maximum of $500.
