Interested in Social and Environmental Justice?
nextUP:A LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR YOUNG PEOPLE COMMITTED TO Social and Environmental Justice
October 14, 2008 – March 30, 2009
Vancouver, British Columbia
WELCOME! Do you wonder what the future holds for the world? Are you concerned about things like climate change, poverty, public health and education, housing and trade policy? Do you believe that global and local issues are connected? Do you feel that our economic system is focused on profit at the expense of people and the planet? Do you believe that it is possible for us, as communities, to do things differently at home and abroad, to eradicate poverty, to deal with conflict peacefully, for everyone to have access to good public health and education services? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this program may be for you.
Who should apply?
You are:
Aged 19–30•
Passionate about changing the way the world works, and committed to being active on the front lines of social change
Certain that there are better ways for us to take care of each other and the planet
Willing to take a risk, join a team, and learn more about yourself
Someone with leadership qualities (though leadership and activism experience are not necessarily required).
How much does it cost?
It’s free! The cost of the program for the 12 participants will be covered entirely by the program (if you live outside Vancouver we may be able to help with travel costs, so please apply). You have to commit time, energy, curiosity and a desire to change the world. Each participant will receive an honorarium at the end of the program to recognize the time and effort that they have committed to the work.
