Skills for Social Change Certificate for Youth 19-35

Hello all!

An e-mail came across my inbox this morning about an opportunity for youth 19-35 years old to participate in a certificate program in Antigonish, Nova Scotia this May.

Now you do have to pay to attend, HOWEVER, they are scholarships available, but the deadline to apply for those in FEBRUARY 20TH! Sorry I recieved this e-mail so late, doesn't leave much time now does it.

I quickly scanned the website and it looks like there are some* full funding opportunities for Aboriginal youth.

So check it out if you are interested. I have copied and pasted some of the write-up from their website below:

Link: Skills for Social Change

The Coady International Institue is offering a new 3-week youth certificate, Skills for Social Change, which will be offered in May 2012.  The certificate is an opportunity for young community practitioners, volunteers and activists to share their experiences with one another, explore the challenges of community engagement and gain new skills in order to better contribute to the communities of which they are a part.  Participants will also have the opportunity to connect with and learn along side experienced community practitioners from across the globe who will be at the Coady Institute attending concurrent certificate courses.   
One full and two partial schoarshps are available.  Application with scholarship deadline is 20 February 2012 and general application deadline is 20 March 2012.  Consider applying or sharing this information with others you feel may be interested in this course.
