This will include backing existing youth-led groups to win campaigns and new youth-led groups to start rapid response, short and medium term campaigns – from providing strategic and operational advice on campaign plans to creating group training and knowledge retention strategies
You will work closely with FYA’s Advocacy & Campaigns and First Nations teams, and youth-led campaigning partners.
Key to success will be your ability to work in a team, your demonstrated track record of winning systems change, and your hands-on experience working with communities facing structural oppression.
