The application for University students has now closed. For those who applied, you will be receiving notification shortly!
 
The application for highschool students is now open. Register online now!  You have until June 15th  to apply. Highschool students from the Vancouver area are invited to attend the sessions on Saturday August 11th 2012. 

From August 9th to 12th, over  50 campus group members and 40 highschool youth leaders will convene in Vancouver, British Columbia. These three days will be a critical juncture for our national community of campus groups. This will be both a time for learning, personal development and growth for the leaders and groups attending, and a time to design, organize and mobilize the role campus groups will play in Oxfam Canada's current campaign.

Through three days of interactive workshops, deep conversations and collective visioning and creation, we will produce the strongest, youth-led women’s rights campaign team in Canada.

What are our goals?

The CHANGE Leadership Summit strives to develop the attitudes, skills and knowledge of participants to enable them to take leadership in promoting women’s rights and gender equality.

As a group, we will work to create the systems and working relationships to become a stronger, more cohesive national youth campaigning force.

Participants will work on developing themselves as activists and leaders, with new skills, motivations, perspectives and knowledge.

The CHANGE Leadership Summit will build a foundation on which campus groups will gain momentum, become stronger and emerge with new commitment and new strategies and tools.

The CHANGE Leadership Summit will work to define and articulate a national framework for working collectively throughout the year. In addition, leaders will leave this conference with the resources and support to continue building their local campus group community.

Who should attend the 2011 CHANGE Leadership Summit?

Anyone who is ready to commit to creating change with an Oxfam Canada campus group in 2012-2013!

This is an event for the most active student leaders in the country, but also for new members looking to get involved in new ways and take on leadership challenges. Everyone who attends the CHANGE Leadership Summit should be ready to actively contribute to an existing Oxfam campus group in 2012-2013 or contribute to the founding of a new group on a university campus. This also includes highschool students in the Vancouver area who wish to start a group on their highschool campus, or join a group at a University in the following year.

The University application is now closed. If you are a highschool student, you can fill out the Highschool application online to apply!
