There are many different ways to become part of the McCreary team and support the exciting work we do.
The BC Health and Wellness Youth Advisory Council is recruiting new members
The BC Health and Wellness YAC is made up of up to 20 youth aged 14–19 from communities across British Columbia. The YAC provides youth perspectives on topics related to health and wellness to inform BC government decisions. The focus for the group includes vaping and tobacco use and related issues that matter to youth.
The BC YAC meets virtually about 10 times per year, with an in-person meeting once per year (travel costs covered). Members of the BC Health and Wellness YAC will receive $17.50 per hour to attend meetings and events. YAC members will receive support from McCreary facilitators, including one-to-one check-ins and regular email communication. YAC members will also receive any training needed to participate in YAC projects and activities.
