Backbone Team Updates

We are pleased to welcome Emily McClement as our newest MWS student on placement with the Backbone Team from Laurier University until 2021.

Joana Lincho has accepted the role of Youth In Systems Lead, a partnership with Carizon and the CYPT funded by the Astley Family Foundation. Joana is excited for the opportunity to continue her work with the CYPT membership and focus on moving our collective youth engagement efforts forward. Joana is hoping to connect with members to scope the role and better understand how members see this role supporting the membership in elevating youth voices in our systems-level work – ensuring youth feel valued, heard and included. If you are interested in connecting with Joana to share more about your organization’s youth engagement efforts and discuss how you see this role moving forward, please connect with Joana at jlincho@carizon.ca
