If you are between 15 and 29 years old you are invited to join the new Youth 20/20 Can Project. We are connecting youth volunteers in Victoria, Cowichan, Nanaimo, Courtney, Southern Gulf Islands, and Powell River.
Volunteers share ideas about projects, events, or activities that matter and that they want to lead and manage. Youth contribute 120 hours of volunteering time before March 31, 2023 and partner with community groups, local businesses, and mentors to turn ideas into reality.
There are a million reasons to volunteer. The benefits include participation in free training and learning events, building connections and networks, gaining employment skills and references, having fun, meeting new friends, and leading and inspiring change in their community.
Suddenly there are lots of new people interested in food gardening and food producing, and they have a lot of questions! Fortunately the Southern Gulf Island has lots of experienced and even some master gardeners hopefully willing to pass along the torch of knowledge. This program will match up novice, experienced and master gardeners and food producers on the Southern Gulf Islands so that you can get the best yield possible.
