SUMMARY:Youth Forum Application Deadline - for General Council 44
DESCRIPTION:Youth Forum for General Council 44 will be online in 2022. What you might not know\, and what First Third Ministry Network is excited to announce is that Youth Forum Delegates will get a unique opportunity to do a paid internship as part of their participation in Youth Forum. \nHold the phone; what’s General Council and what’s Youth Forum? I’m glad you asked! General Council is the triennial (every three years) national business meeting of The United Church of Canada (UCC). In our system of governance\, The United Church of Canada consists of formal gatherings called “courts” where decisions are made via a democratic process. General Council is the national equivalent to our Regional Gatherings; the national “court” where representatives of the UCC from across the country gather to discuss and advocate for issues like Reconciliation\, Affirming Ministry\, Climate Justice and more; where visions for new and innovative ministry are presented and where proposals are examined and adopted by the national church. \nYouth Forum is a part of the General Council where United Church youth from across the country get to gather in leadership and worship to advocate for the needs of youth in the church and promote youth leadership in all aspects of church life. \nClick here for more information!
