Passionate About Supporting Youth Workers?
The past 12 months have tested us all, especially those in the non-profit sector. Life's been busy and our board, once full, has seen many departures due to a lack of capacity. YWRC are eager to fill those seats with individuals who are as passionate about supporting young workers as we are. We believe in the boundless potential of all youth and see our work as crucial to their success. We're committed to not only maintaining our current services, but to growing them. If you share our dedication to youth empowerment, we encourage you to apply to join our governance board and support our mahi.
