About the Youth Council

The Road to Economic Prosperity Youth Council was launched in July 2022. African Nova Scotian youth build upon and pass down our community’s culture, values, and history. Our youth bring energy, innovation, and motivation to the work.

Youth Council Mandate

1. Provide counsel and guidance to the Road to Prosperity Advisory Council on matters of vital interest to the community.
2. Develop and lead our youth consultation and engagement strategies.
3. Assist in providing strategic direction and guidance on the work as the Road to Economic Prosperity Advisory Council moves forward on the implementation plan.
