Youth Advisory Council
The OSEG Foundation Youth Advisory Council (YAC) serves to provide a voice and platform to the youth in Ottawa who can directly impact the opportunities available for their community. Through these direct youth voices, the OSEG Foundation will obtain a deeper understanding of issues and opportunities that will serve to inform and facilitate greater support for youth in the community.
Together, with our coaches and players from the Ottawa REDBLACKS and Ottawa 67's, youth that are a part of the OSEG Foundation Youth Advisory Council have the unique opportunity to connect with the organization and various departments to provide insights, help make OSEG more youth-friendly, and allow greater involvement by youth in Ottawa.
