We are the 15th cohort in Edmonton within the RISE program

Our project combines a civic engagement website with an in-person youth launch event. It aims to provide actionable tools for participation beyond voting, to connect youths to local civic opportunities, and to create a low-barrier space for starting political conversations. We are seeking to reduce discomfort, disconnect, and inaccessibility our youths feel towards participating in political conversations. We are motivated by our belief that:          

 if you are not in the conversation, you cannot control the outcome.
