Ever Active Schools invites you to apply to volunteer at Resiliency Summit 2018. We aren't just looking for "volunteer veterans"; we want people with a passion to assist delegates who live within or support Indigenous school communities! Involvement in the Resiliency Summit is a great opportunity to gain first-hand insight and experience in supporting Indigenous students and communities from all across Alberta.
There are many valuable stories, experiences and connection opportunities to be made at the Summit in an immersive and interactive way. Educators, parents, researchers, adult students and community builders are all encouraged to join our support team. If you haven't volunteered at a Resiliency Summit before, don't worry - we can help every step of the way.
The conference will take place in Calgary at WinSport Winter Sport Institute (Canada Olympic Park) on November 28-29 , 2018.
