Previously
Sierra Youth Group Meeting (virtual)
Our recent youth meeting was all about connection and collaboration! It gave young people a chance to meet each other, learn about open volunteer opportunities, and experience what our weekly meetings are like by walking through our executive agenda and taking on a few small tasks together. We were excited to see so many new faces and fresh energy—so much so that we’re planning some internal restructuring. Stay tuned for updates!
Below, you’ll find the light agenda we followed during the Zoom session. We’ll be hosting more youth meetings in the future, but if you’d like to get involved right away, don’t wait—reach out to us anytime at youth@sierraclub.ca.
Meeting Agenda:
- Start building our community
- Share our opportunities to get involved
- Talk through ideas, projects, and ways we can work together on climate, environmental, and social action
Book Club
Our first, virtual, nationwide book club was a success! 📚
Sierra Youth was excited to announce our monthly book club where participants discuss books they are currently reading. Participants brought a book, a cup of tea, and their good company. First, we had a short introduction about who we are and the forces that drive us at Sierra Youth.
We suggested themes surrounding climate, conservation, social issues, etc. and the books did not disappoint.
Even those without books were welcomed in with hopes a recommended novel sparked their interest!
Sierra Youth is excited for our next book club with the date still to be announced.
See you soon,
The Sierra Youth Team
Sierra Youth Podcast
We had the Sierra Youth Podcast, hosted by previous members of our youth committee. The podcast featured conversations for a healthy planet and healthy communities. Take a listen below!
