Youth

Six young adult participants explored the international development sector and themes of sustainability, gender equality, inclusiveness, and more — right here in Alberta! Participants traveled across Alberta and engaged with Alberta international aid organizations, local organizations, and community leaders through dialogue and practical hands-on learning. Participants also worked together to develop and implement activities to engage the public in Alberta on important global issues explored during the program.

This is a space for young Albertans between the ages of 18 and 24 to connect with other young people and mentors from our vast network. We are on a mission to train and engage the next cohort of young leaders who are working towards building a fair, equal and prosperous Alberta. Depending on the season, we may be looking for applications for our next cohort or in the middle of the SDG Hub season!  

ACGC is recruiting for our 2022-2023 SDG Hub cohort! This professional skill development and mentorship program will provide participants with opportunities to engage in meaningful dialogue with peers, and take action in their communities.
