Are you a First Nations youth aged 18-29 living in #BC who is interested in education and/or a career in public administration and governance? #FNPSS wants you!

We are currently seeking First Nations youth to be a part of the new FNPSS #YouthNetwork. As a part of this Network, members will meet virtually to learn about FNPSS’ offerings and provide feedback, brainstorm new ideas, exchange best practices, share tools and resources, and connect with other similar First Nations youth from across BC who are working in / are interested in working in public administration. Ultimately, as this group will be organized through a ‘by youth- for youth’ model, the Youth Network’s framework, organization, and activities will be determined by its members.

If you or someone you know is interested in being a part of the FNPSS Youth Network, please contact us at info@fnps.ca. No experience working in public administration is required.

For more information about the Youth Network, and FNPSS’ other current youth engagement projects and internship opportunities, please visit our website at www.fnps.ca/youth.
