The Starfish Leadership Lab – Empower Young Voices in the City of Victoria and bring a timber playground to life!
Starfish Canada and Aryze Developments are excited to launch the very first cohort of the Youth Leadership Labs program in the City of Victoria.
This pilot program will bring 50 youth (ages 13 to 30) together to provide input to new plans for a timber-based playground – a first of its kind for the city!
Through 8 weekly virtual workshops and collaborative sessions with leaders across the Capitol Region, young people will collectively learn about sustainable city planning and apply those lessons to foster a city that brings community together.
Together, we will explore how creative thinking around our built environment can promote a shared natural environment that brings community together. Youth Leadership Labs participants will have the opportunity to apply key learnings from the workshops that will positively inform how the planning, design, and management of public spaces are achieved in their community, and help bring plans for a dynamic timber playground to life! Applications are due at 4pm on Jan. 9th. Please see the website for more details. https://thestarfish.ca/leadership-lab
Let it Rot is a free program for youth aged 13-18. The start date is February 5th and it will run Saturdays from 3:15-5:15 until mid-June. The program will provide participants with hands-on opportunities to learn about growing food and food security, composting, soil science and sustainability on site at the Compost Education Centre. Sessions will involve breaks, snacks and will aim to build community with the group. Students can sign up using this link which has all sorts of information about the program as you click through the different sections. The link also lives on our website here,
