Youth Council

Grade 11

I love how Oshawa Youth Council provided me with the opportunity to meet new people and interact with them. I also enjoy how I get to explore different parts of Oshawa through the meeting and their locations. Finally, I love how Oshawa Youth Council provides me with the platform to advocate for the youth and represent them by having an input in some of the initiatives taken by the City.

Grade 9

Oshawa Youth Council is a great place to be, where you have a chance to express your opinion and your opinion matters. Everyone is welcoming, it is lots of fun and educational!

Grade 7

I love the opportunity to meet some great new people and to have awesome experiences. O.Y.C. gives me so many great opportunities to have fun, but also to help out the community at the same time. Though this is my first year, I’ve already done some amazing things with new people that I’ve met.

Grade 11

I love gaining experience working with others in a group, and getting to help make an impact within the community. I enjoy getting to know new people and making friendships that will last a lifetime.

Grade 9

I love the opportunities to meet new people and run events in Oshawa. O.Y.C. is a fun environment where you meet new people and also make new friends. You could also run events in Oshawa, like drop-in basketball, badminton, and other fun stuff.

Grade 10

I get to meet and talk to other people from around the City that I would otherwise not get to meet, and get perspectives from different people. O.Y.C. is very fun.  We plan events such as National Youth Week and we talk about volunteer opportunities. We meet once a month, but it does not feel like work. We somehow get work done while socializing and having a good time. We also do activities such as cook or skate together, and have our meeting afterwards.
