Get Involved!

The Canadian Youth Assembly has been imagined, built and run by youth volunteers since its conception and it is volunteers that keep the organization moving and growing. There are various volunteer positions available, some of which involve more time than others, but there is something to suit your life.

The CYA prides itself on being able to create positions tailored to the individuals who fill them, both to suit their interests and to suit their schedules.

CYA Elections

The CYA runs elections in which youth between the ages of 14 and 25 are able to run.  Youth from coast to coast to coast are elected by their peers to represent them and shed light on the issues which matter to them.  They are the direct link and the voice between the youth of Canada and the public.
