If you are a youth aged 14-19, this could be for you! By joining our Youth in Food Systems team, you can learn about and explore food systems while creating content for empowering and inspiring your peers to do the same.

Do you have a way with words, or just an interest in writing? Or perhaps you enjoy providing thoughtful feedback? Or have a knack for design? 

Are you eager to learn about and share knowledge about food systems and sustainability with your peers?
 

Join the youth-led blog as a Writer, Editor, Designer, or Publisher!

We are bringing youth on for each role within the youth-led blog team this year! Visit www.seeds.ca/schoolfoodgardens/blog to see the project. 

WRITERS

Do you have a way with words, or just an interest in writing? We have an opportunity for you to write about food- and sustainability-related topics for the blog! It’s written for young people, by young people, to educate and inspire your peers. 

EDITORS

The essence of the blog lies in having high quality content, and that shouldn’t fall solely on the blog writers. Our editors are responsible for reviewing each post and providing suggestions and feedback before the posts get published. 

DESIGNERS & PUBLISHERS

The aesthetic of the blog is important for capturing readers’ attention. This means having a featured image for each and every blog post created; and publishing each post in a way that is user friendly and appealing. If you have a creative eye and want to produce final pieces that are inviting, this role could be the perfect fit for you! 

The Beaver Valley Bruce Trail Club is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit group that maintains and stewards the Bruce Trail and its lands from the western edge of the Blue Mountains to Blantyre. Volunteers have the opportunity to contribute to conservation and the Bruce Trail in a variety of ways.

Trail Maintenance volunteers are part of a roster that may include: sawyers, trail builders, grass-cutters and trimmers, trail clean-up, etc.

Volunteer Land Stewards actively care for each of the properties that are owned or managed by the Bruce Trail Conservancy by visiting an assigned property at least twice a year, completing annual reports on the conditions of the land, and providing input into the stewardship plans.

Hike Leaders plan and guide hikers on the trail in organized hikes approximately once per month, in all four seasons if possible.

Other opportunities to volunteer in Communications and Publicity, Outreach, or on the Board are available as well.

All volunteers will receive training and equipment as necessary. Commitment times are flexible. Please contact the Club to find the opportunity that's right for you!
