For at least the past five years, I've been in a supervisory or mentorship role with Saanich's Summer Internship Program. This program allows students to get hands on experience for 4 weeks in the summer and upon successful completion we award a $500 honorarium. The heart of the program has always been recreation experience, gaining skills in a day camp setting, working with kids. It is only recently we've branched into other departments: IT, Parks and now... the Planning Department w/ green initiatives!!

Guest: Carly Aspelend--Team Development Co-ordinater for the Canadian Cancer Society's Fernwood Relay for Life.
 
I know Reynolds students are superstar fundraisers and the Relay would be an opportunity for them to become further involved in the Cancer community .

The Relay is an overnight event happening May 25th - May 26th at Victoria High School. The night will include celebrating survivors, remembering people lost to cancer and fighting back against the disease. We are also putting a large focus on healthy lifestyles, so there will be fun games and activities all night long to incorporate that theme. Interested students could make a team, do some fundraising, gain volunteer hours and be a part of an amazing event.

Special Leadership Meeting on Monday May 13th at lunch in room 32.... Guest Presenation by U-Vic/UBC students on their Post Carbon Youth Tour  www.postcarbonyouthtour.com

"Hello students! 

 

My name is Sara Mckinnon and I am 19 years old. I am a former student of Reynolds secondary, having been greatly involved in the sports program, french immersion and leadership! I am now in my first year at Camosun College, studying to become an elementary school teacher. I have a strong passion for youth driven development and the idea that every child should have the opportunity to gain knowledge about sport and leadership in their community.

 

If you are between the ages of 16-22 and enjoy sports, physical activity, youth driven development, leadership and community involvement then ACTIVATE is the program for you and you should apply to become an ACTIVATOR!

 

ACTIVATE is a national youth leadership program that holds a forum in Ottawa, taking place May 8-12, for youth all across Canada ages 16-22. The ACTIVATORS that attend will gain the knowledge and resources of Youth Driven Development promoting a healthy, active lifestyle and leadership skills, which will have a positive contribution on your school, community and organization. ACTIVATE is completely youth-driven and aims to instill confidence and qualities in youth that will help them to better their leadership skills and to engage in their community. ACTIVATE brings together young Canadians from various provinces in Canada to explore and develop their talents, skills and interests. The forum consists of dynamic presentations, thoughtful and engaging workshops, and opportunities to network with some of Canada’s biggest sport and physical activity organizations. Upon completing the Forum, youth are certified as ACTIVATORS and return to their communities to initiate their ACTIVATE in Action projects. They also become part of a large ACTIVATE network, connected through a dedicated online platform, social media, and local groups.  ACTIVATE strongly believes that youth are the leaders of today, and not only tomorrow. We like to give youth the keys, and then put them in the driver's seat; through our youth-led leadership forums, youth are taught all the skills and given all the resources they need to improve the lives of youth in their communities through sport and physical activity. We provide the spark, and youth drive the movement forward.

 

ACTIVATE IS A FAMILY.

ACTIVATE is about discovery: discovering yourself, discovering others, and discovering the family you never knew you had. By attending an ACTIVATE Forum and becoming an ACTIVATOR, youth become part of a country-wide family, with members that are there to mentor, guide, and support each other. 

 

ACTIVATE is what you need it to be. If you interested but would like more information, visit our website http://www.motivatecanada.ca/en/activate 

TO APPLY: Go to www.motivatecanada.ca/activate/apply

The deadline for applications is MARCH 6th at 5:00pm EST

Also, check our our awesome promo video at http://youtu.be/VxpbyVoIyXE 

Thank you for taking the time to read this email and I hope that you now have an interest for ACTIVATE and becoming an ACTIVATOR! 

Take care, 

Sara Mckinnon 

If you have any question concerning ACTIVATE or the application process, don't hesitate to contact me! My email is sara.mckinnon.4@gmail.com

The Didi Society of Victoria would like to invite your Reynolds leadership group and/or your school to participate in the 2013 Social Justice Youth Conference on Saturday, February 23d at Central Middle School from 9am to 3pm. The conference aims to inspire youth to take action, and provide them the tools to take action in their community and world.
This event is an ideal opportunity for youth in grades 6-12 from all backgrounds and skill levels to gain skills to take action on key social justice issues that are at the forefront of the globalized world.
The Didi Society has designed the morning for four workshops that are fun and challenge youth to take an active interest in social justice. The topics are: Fair Trade, Gender and Globalization, Environmental Sustainability, and Children's Rights. The morning will provide youth with the tools they need to take action to make positive change in their communities and in the world.
The afternoon will feature an informal session for sharing and networking among the groups that are already active in the community, making positive change, followed by an interactive presentation on privilege and action.
The Didi Society will provide a short morning break with refreshments, as well as a light lunch.
Registration is free, and we invite individuals as well as groups to participate. Please see the attached registration form and distribute widely. The registration forms should be returned to education@thedidisociety.org<mailto:education@thedidisociety.org>. We have limited numbers for this event, so ensure to get your applications in soon.
Additionally, we are extending a special invitation to those groups, like yours, that are already so active making positive change. We would like to acknowledge and showcase the work youth have already been doing. There will be an opportunity for these groups to present a poster, short video, skit, photo exhibit, or other medium of what they have been doing to make positive change in their community and world. Please complete the attached registration form for Group Presentation and return to education@thedidisociety.org<mailto:education@thedidisociety.org>.

Please direct any questions regarding the event itself info@didisociety.org<mailto:info@didisociety.org>. We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
Julia Norman

NOVEMBER Large Group Meeting
 
Guests:
 
-Mr. Ravenhill

Ish Jahj , from Vancouver has a foundation set up called Shooting for Hope. She is raising money and collecting gently used soccer boots for girls in India. She goes to small villages and puts on soccer camps for girls who never get the opportunity to play any sports.
Sr. Leadership students are invited to join the CSE students ot hear her speak on Nov 7th at 10am.

-CULTURE CLUB guests... an exciting idea you could get involved in... 
 

Hi Heather,

I wanted to touch with you about a Leadership project that I learned about last year called Belle of the Ball. It’s an event put together via corporate sponsors and donations so that girls who might not normally be able to afford the year-end prom can still go to grad in full attire. Make-up artists and hair stylists volunteer to help get the girls ready. Formal prom wear comes via donations. I don’t know the barriers some of the Reynold’s girls face, but I wanted to give you the idea to pass along to leadership as a potential event.

Both Monique Sekhon’s mom (Manji, cc’ed on this email) and I are Arbonne Consultants and would love to assist with make-up. We have other Consultants on our team as well who would also be excited to do make-up. This was how one such event was handled: http://arbonnefoundation.org/belle-of-the-ball-march-24-2012/

I wanted to pass the idea onto you while there is still lots of time in the year.

Cheers!
