MONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / April 14, 2022 / CWY-JCM of Montreal, Canada, is celebrating 50 years of youth engagement with a National Youth Leadership Summit from June 6-8 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Under the direction of President & CEO Susan Handrigan, CWY-JCM is addressing the urgent and powerful call from youth across the globe for a youth-led and youth-informed future. CWY-JCM’s new programming, carefully designed over the last two years, is explicitly tailored to empower today’s young people to navigate the problems of this generation.
Since the start of the pandemic, young people have been increasingly vocal about their need to be the driving agents of change. They are deeply concerned about the climate crisis, mental health, radicalization, and intersecting systems of oppression. Now, more than ever, Canada needs to support young people and become a leader on the global stage. As experts in youth engagement, CWY-JCM is poised to deploy our country’s greatest asset: young people.
“It is through collaboration between private and public sectors, nationally and internationally, that we can design a better and more inclusive future,” said Handrigan, who has made it her mission to call on all individuals, corporations, and governments to play a more active role in youth empowerment.
Youth can apply to attend the National Leadership Summit here. To learn more or to book an interview with CWY, contact Julien Michel at jmichel@cwy-jcm.org, message any of their social media channels, or call +1 514-931-3526.
