Unique Opportunity to Join the City of Vancouver Youth Elections Team

The City of Vancouver is looking to hire team of high voltage youth, for a city-wide education, information and outreach initiative, targeted at youth.

We are looking for young people, preferably age 18-24 with voting experience, and an interest or experience in theatre.

During the PNE in late August and in the weeks leading up to the November 2005 Civic Election, the youth team will hit the streets to talk to young people about the upcoming Election in order to increase youth turnout on voting day. The youth team will be provided training by Theatre Sports and compensated ($$$)* for their time.
