The New Youth Council Meeting

The New Youth Council welcomes all Mississauga youth between the ages of 14 and 21 to join our weekly meetings and support youth-driven creative projects with the Museums of Mississauga. Youth will have opportunities to:

• Get behind the scenes access to their community museum
• Learn about local history and how to handle historic artifacts
• Support special events at the Museums and Small Arms Inspection Building
• Support youth-driven creative projects such as the Online Art Showcase for National Youth Week
• Help out with community service projects such as donation drives for homeless youth
• Go on field trips

As part of this experience, youth will receive mentorship from museum professionals and develop leadership skills. This is an amazing opportunity for anyone considering a career in the arts, culture or heritage fields and a great way to make new friends and build your network!

Meetings are held every Thursday from 4:00pm to 5:00pm, the first week in October to the first week in June. All TNYC meetings can be accessed virtually, but we will contact members when a physically distanced in-person meeting at the Small Arms Inspection Building is scheduled.

For information on how you can join TNYC, please email us at museums@mississauga.ca. All are welcome!
