Recruitment is now OPEN for the 2021-2022 Rural Change Makers Program!

The Rural Change Maker program delivered by the Rural Ontario Institute for rural/northern youth is an exciting opportunity for youth to develop skills and challenge themselves to become engaged leaders in their rural/northern communities. Last year’s program showed that 72% of Change Makers said they are likely to stay in the local community to work and live (up from 45% at the start of the program!). 

Are you or someone you know eager to lead change in your community? Would you like to learn new techniques for engagement and ways to effectively mobilize change around issues important to your community? Are you between the ages of 18-29 and from rural/northern Ontario? The Rural Change Makers is a life-changing, experiential learning program that will help you reach your goals.

Up to 30 motivated young adults will be selected by application to join the experience. These leaders will participate in a series of developmental training sessions and together undertake experiential learning opportunities to realize rural development outcomes identified by their communities. The program welcomes applications from engaged young leaders, eager to mobilize action around issues important to their communities.

We are excited to share this opportunity with you and encourage you to apply to the 2021-2022 Change Makers Program!
