Real change happens when people come together and use their collective power to lift up their communities. Together we have the ability to represent an array of people, issues and lived experiences, all with a shared passion for advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and comprehensive sexuality education (CSE), and ending the injustice of poverty and inequality. That is why Oxfam Canada is calling on youth activists, community leaders and passionate individuals from across the country to come together and attend the Youth Summit!
About the Youth Summit!
Oxfam Canada will convene young SRHR activists from across Canada to gain skills related to providing, educating on, and advocating for CSE and SRHR in their communities. The Youth Summit is a free, two-day summit that will be packed full of workshops, inspiring speakers, and breakout sessions focused on SRHR issues and advocacy. Participants will leave inspired, connected, knowledgeable and equipped with skills to advocate for positive change under the broad umbrella of SRHR, including an explicit focus on 2SLGBTQIA+ CSE.
Applicants from anywhere in Canada, excluding Quebec, aged 18-29 are welcome to apply. Our overarching goal with these spots is to support young 2SLGBTQ+ leaders by equipping them with the skills and knowledge not only to bring CSE into their community spaces using an intersectional feminist and anti-racist approach, but also advocate for CSE, SRHR, and other 2SLGBTQ+ related issues in political settings.
Youth will participate in interactive sessions that build their capacity in CSE that addresses the needs of diverse populations. They will also learn how to advocate for the needs of themselves and their communities, specifically around CSE and SRH to decision makers.
