Twinkle, Food Banks and Democracy
We love to use this space to give an extra shout out to organizations doing cool work! Food security is a cause that is important to most communities across the country. Especially in the cost-of-living crisis. Food Banks hold a critical space in that work. Food Banks BC is currently looking for several board members. What we like about this opportunity is the clear effort to seek out people who are reflective of the community across the province of British Columbia. Many people often self-select out of board roles because they do not feel qualified, but the voices are critical to centring the actual needs of the people organizations serve. If you are interested in that work and have lived experience in food insecurity or poverty, check them out!
The holiday season is just around the corner, with that is some long nights and some very short days. The thing that breaks up this time for all of us are dazzling lights. The Burlington Festival of Lights has been a destination for residents of Burlington and beyond for twenty-nine years! If the light life is for you over the holiday season, have a look at their opportunity. What we love about this opportunity; the title “Twinkle Patrol” AMAZING! We adore a unique title. The other thing we love about this opportunity is that the organization has identified this role is good for families, groups and youth! An awesome and festive opportunity.
Young Politicians of Canada is a national, non-partisan, non-profit youth-led organization based in Toronto. There are elections in the air across the country and we love the idea of supporting youth engaging in the democratic process and the shifts that can happen in our society when people lean into their civic responsibility! You can check out their opportunity here.
