Why support youth engagement?

Young people are increasingly conscious about the questions of identity linked to the minority situation of Francophones in New Brunswick. They are at the heart of our mission. The future of the Acadian and Francophone community rests in their hands.

Why get young people engaged?

• Their creativity
• Their energy and drive
• To bridge intergenerational gaps
• To build new perspectives
• Ensuring succession

New Brunswick’s youth is brimming with talent and ideas. That said, for their ideas to become a reality, young people need support from all of us. Your experience, your advice and your open-mindedness can make a big difference. All members of the community have something to gain when young people take an active part in the decisions that shape our future.

Here are a few ways you can support Acadian and Francophone youth:

• By consulting them
• By having them participate in decision-making processes
• By supporting their ideas and projects
• By listening to them
• By giving them a chance to express themselves

Our role is to prepare future generations to undertake the roles they will one day be given.
