DIVERSEcity is delighted to announce that CityHive and Nature Kids BC will be partnering with us as key mentors for our Youth for People and the Planet program. Drawing on their expertise in marketing, budgeting, project planning, advocacy and community mobilization, these organizations will provide valuable guidance and mentorship to youth participants.CityHive is an award-winning, Metro Vancouver-based non-profit organization on a mission to transform the way that young people (ages 13 to 30) are engaged in shaping their communities: in city planning, decision-making processes and on pressing urban issues. As a youth-led and youth-run non-profit, they harness the energy, experiences and perspectives of young people to create solutions to make our cities more just, sustainable and resilient. They work with civic institutions to make their youth engagement more meaningful and inclusive.NatureKids BC is a nature discovery and environmental action organization that helps children form meaningful and enduring connections with nature alongside their families. Powered by passionate volunteers, members and donors, they engage young families in exploring the wonderfully diverse ecosystems of British Columbia through nature clubs in all corners of the province. They are passionate about making it easy for families to get out and explore, play, learn about and take action for nature together.“With the right mentorship, young people can turn bold ideas into meaningful action. Guided by CityHive and Nature Kids BC, they’ll channel their passion into impactful projects—and, along the way, discover their own power to shape the future they envision,” says Abby Mann, Manager, Youth & Civic Engagement at DIVERSEcity.Read the full article here: www.dcrs.ca/diversecity-partners-with-nature-kids-bc-and-city-hive/ #ForPeopleForCommunities #SurreyBC #Delta #partnership #partner #partnerannouncement #announcement #environment #ENGO #nonprofit ...
