Next Up Leadership Program Application Deadline, Friday September 19th

Do you wonder what the future holds for the world? Are you concerned about things like climate change, poverty, public health and education, housing and trade policy? Do you believe that it is possible for us, as communities, to do things differently at home and abroad, to eradicate poverty, to deal with conflict peacefully, for everyone to have access to good public health and education services? If you answered yes to one of these questions, then consider applying for Next Up, a leadership program for young people committed to social and environmental justice.

Next Up was created by a group of young people who wanted to help emerging leaders in BC (that’s you!). The program is intense. Over 6 months, you'll dive into a number of topics and disciplines, combining theory, practice, deep thinking and hard skills. You’ll look at some of the most pressing foreign and domestic policy issues and where "progressive" thinking is at on how to solve them. You’ll look at how change is made in society. And you"ll meet some of the most innovative change-makers in BC — from the non-profit, business and public sectors — who are working for a better world.
