Want to help recognize some of the most amazing youth in Calgary?  Do you like learning about event planning and marketing?

Youth Central (formerly Child and Youth Friendly Calgary) is currently recruiting for the ConocoPhillips Youth of Distinction Awards Steering Committee 2010!

The ConocoPhillips Youth of Distinction Awards (YODA) recognize youth, 13 – 18 years of age, for the remarkable ways in which they have chosen to live.  The awards are not academic; rather, they focus on leadership, friendship, volunteerism, selfless service and overcoming personal challenges.

Pretty cool, hey?  The YODA Steering Committee (ages 12 – 18) not only helps plan the entire ceremony (including picking entertainment), they also market YODA and get to help design our poster and other promotional items.  The best part is that the committee also chooses all the winners for each category and helps emcee the ceremony!

Sound like something you’re interested in? Contact Program Coordinator Jennifer Hilliker at yoda@youthcentral.com and come check things out at our first steering committee meeting:

Date: Thursday September 30, 2010

Time: 5 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.

Location: Youth Central Office (#820, 1202 Centre St. SE)
