Details

Active U is a Canadian youth-run health and fitness non-profit organization.

Our goal is to establish active and vibrant chapters at universities and colleges across Canada that support programming to encourage a healthier and more active lifestyle. Activities such as hiking, group rides, camping, cooking and nutrition classes, gardening and foraging classes, etc.

We are looking for five young people to help us with this expansion by:

- Developing a strategy for sustainable chapter expansion.

- Preparing material for youth-run chapters to be able to run events and register their club at their respective university.

- Establishing new chapters with at least five (5) different universities or colleges in at least three provinces.



Deliverables

The final deliverables should take the form of:

  • A short presentation on a strategy for sustainable expansion
  • Chapter support materials such as posters
  • Helping to recruit and establish new chapters


Mentorship

Students will connect directly with the employer weekly (or as needed) for mentorship and supervision throughout the project. We can meet on a weekly basis, or as needed.
