Youth Engagement Committee
What is the CPF Youth Engagement Committee:
The Youth Engagement Committee is a group that helps foster an advocative conversation between CPF and French speaking students. CPF seeks to improve our programs continuously and we want to ensure that the voices of French speaking students across the country are being heard. The YEC is a unique forum for dialogue to increase engagement within our community.
To join the YEC you need to be:
- Between the ages of 16 to 25 (students under the age of 18 will require parental consent)
- Passionate about French and French education
- An innovative and ambitious leader or leader-in-training
- Able to hold a position for 1 – 2 years
The YEC will offer you the opportunity to gain experience in a variety of roles which will make impactful changes in your community. We will have you working on, and executing projects with various stakeholders across Alberta and – possibly – the country. It is a perfect opportunity to network and make your voice heard!
Communications Coordinator – The communication coordinator will be responsible for the creation of social media content which will be posted on a variety of channels. We will require the communication coordinator to keep a journal and to submit reports from meetings and events. The communication coordinator is the voice of the engagement committee!
Lead Delegate – The Lead Delegate will be the main point of contact between the committee and the CPF board of directors. The LD is also in charge of working with staff to organize all virtual meetings, in-person meetings, and other administrative requirements for the delegates. The LD is the chief spokesperson of the CPF YEC Delegation at meetings with stakeholders.
Engagement Coordinator – The engagement coordinator will be responsible for the development and design of an engagement project working with our local chapters, other partners/stakeholders and staff. The EC will share opportunities with our community throughout the year. The Role also calls for the soliciting of community feedback and determining how CPF can enhance their programs to better serve community demands.
Event Coordinator – The event coordinator will be responsible for assisting in the development of internal (YEC) and CPF external events. Internally they will advise and assist staff with the organization of digital and in– person events where the YEC meets and discusses their mission and plans. As for CPF external events, they will assist in the planning of in– person & virtual member benefit gathers that occur annually (French for the future etc.)
