Youth Council

The Shuswap Nation Tribal Council (SNTC) is excited to announce the establishment of the

“Be the Change” Youth Collective.

This is an opportunity for Secwepemc youth to represent their community, their culture and themselves, to establish their voice, and to be heard. It is the intent of the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council’s “Be the Change” Youth Collective to find the potential leader in each Secwepemc youth and to facilitate their growth in order to encourage and support our future generations in the pursuit of accountable representation, self-governance and social and economic development.

SNTC is looking for two youth representatives (1 male and 1 female) from each of the ten member bands who are between the ages of 18 and 25.

If you are interested in representing your community here are three easy steps to submit your application:

(1) Fill out a youth representative form.

(2) Write a letter of personal introduction (maximum one page) explaining why you would like to

represent your community at the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council.

(3) Submit your application in person at Suite 304 - 355 Yellowhead Highway, Kamloops, or,

by fax (250.374.6331).

By submitting an application you are committing to attend monthly meetings. Travel expenses will be provided by the SNTC. If youth representatives are unable to attend a monthly meeting they may participate through a conference call.
