U of C Summer Youth Leadership Program Opportunity for Black youth ages 15-18

If you are looking to connect with fellow Black high school students and address topics of racial equity, justice and systemic barriers in Black communities the Summer Youth Leadership Program is for you! Using Anti-Black Racism frameworks we will discuss Black history, knowledges and cultures in our sessions that will be incorporated into design approaches. We hope to encourage students to grow their leadership skills to prepare them to make positive impacts in their lives and communities.

Eligibility Criteria: • Black youth ages 15-18 years of age • Currently enrolled in a high school in Calgary (by September 2022)

Each youth will receive a stipend of $500 for their participation.

This program runs from July 4 to August 31, 2022. For more information or to participate please connect with:
