  YMCA Canada

  Apr 2021 - Apr 2022

  YCAN member

  The YMCA Community Action Network (YCAN) is an innovative national program that engages leaders ages 15 to 30 across Canada to address a community need through service projects. The program, part of the Canada Service Corps initiative, supports youth with opportunities to identify and execute a local service project that is meaningful to them. Each service project develops a network of community contacts and provides the participants with career development skills, volunteer hours, and more all while adding value to the local community. My service project focused on creating better information resources for women who are new to Canada and increasing their access to resources such as employment centre, legal aid and counselling through advertising.
