Those looking to join the 2026 Youth Ambassador Program have until Nov. 17 to apply, with the program open to Grade 10 and 11 girls.
“I would say the program is a life-changing experience,” said Youth Ambassador Kara Kakuno.
“It has helped me connect with the community in so many different ways and find like minded girls like myself. It’s really got me closer to the town.”
She said the program teaches you a lot of important life skills.
“There are many training and skill sessions, where you are taught incredible life skills, whether that’s doing your hair, changing a tire, finances and public speaking,” she added.
“There are a lot of volunteer experiences an opportunities to give back to the community.”
There will be a few information session for interested candidates to learn more, with one to take place in person on Nov. 5. at 7 p.m., but the location has not been determined.
Meanwhile, an online ZOOM meeting will take place on Nov. 13 at 7 p.m.
