Who will be the Lead Staff person & Contact from your organization?

* Please note that there is a mandatory 3-day Facilitator training in advance of each cycle. For example, if your organization were to participate in Cycle #4 (starting Jan/Feb 2012), your two staff/volunteers would need to complete the mandatory citizenU Facilitator orientation & training scheduled for mid December 2011 or early January 2012.

-------------------------

Through citizenU, we hope to also engage family members of participating youth in various activities. We understand though that in some cases, engaging families may not be appropriate and/or possible.

Over the course of the initiative, citizenU aims to engage Vancouver's diverse communities in terms of ability/health, ethnocultural background, faith, gender, geography (citywide and/or neighbourhood-based), linguistic, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic situation. We anticipate that each host organization will be specifically or primarily seeking to engage different communities.
