Youth at the Table
By Volunteer Alberta
About the Program
We are a partner in the Youth at the Table program, a chance for youth to participate as an active Board Member of a non-profit. Similar to the UofA's program, this one is open to any youth interested in gaining experience in Board work.
Volunteer Alberta and the Aquarium Society of Alberta have partnered together since 2019. The program brings non-profits and youth together to give interested young leaders the experience of sitting on an actual Board of Directors, to learn the roles and responsibilities and to complete a leadership project by the end of the program. The participants are highly motivated and the Society has been pleased to include them at the Board level and mentor them through a variety of projects, according to interests and skills.
