Vital Youth Program - Victoria Foundation

# data[].attributes.body
Are you interested in participating in SMUS' Vital Youth committee? The Vital Youth Program empowers youth to participate in community through philanthropy. The Victoria Foundation allocates $3,000 to each student committee, comprised of students grades 9 and above, to recommend grants to registered charities of their choice on southern Vancouver Island.

Using Victoria’s Vital Signs community report produced by the Victoria Foundation, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action as tools, students learn about issues impacting our community, including gender equality, reconciliation, climate change, mental health and more. Through these lenses, students also explore their values, experiences and passions. They help identify what is most important to them and how they intersect with community issues and philanthropy.

Student committees then decide which issue area(s) they would like to financially support before researching local charities supporting work in those areas. To learn more about their operations, students meet with charity staff and conduct interviews. Once they have completed this extensive process, they decide as a group which charity to recommend for funding.

Interested?! Email Ms. Elisha Gardiner at elisha.gardiner@smus.ca to inquire about joining SMUS' 2023/2024 Vital Youth Committee.

Forage Fish BEACH Program Survey Volunteers - Pensinsula Streams and Shoreline Society

# data[].attributes.body
As part of the BEACH Program, you would receive on-site training in scientific data collection, using citizen-science protocols associated with forage fish studies, beach seining and related scientific programs.

Forage fish are small schooling fish, such as Pacific sand lance, surf smelt, Pacific herring and anchovies. These species are critical components of the ocean food web, feeding on phytoplankton and zooplankton and transferring this energy to salmon, seabirds and marine mammals. While often abundant, forage fish spawning beaches are undergoing a coastal squeeze, experiencing the effects of shoreline development on land and climatic conditions from the sea. Forage fish beach spawning surveys are important for increasing our knowledge of Pacific sand lance and surf smelt spawning behaviour and their use of intertidal beaches for spawning.

There are several volunteer opportunities with Peninsula Streams and Shorelines Society with a Environmental Stewardship programs - view more about these programs here!
