MS Society, CYC Simcoe County

Chapter Youth Committee (CYC) The Chapter Youth Committee (CYC) is a youth-driven leadership committee dedicated to creating a sense of community by providing a safe mental, physical, emotional environment to support youth affected by MS. The CYC acts to support all activities of the local MS Chapter, and provides direction and feedback to the Chapter Board which comes from a youth’s perspective on the issues and projects that affect them. The CYC members are dedicated to giving a voice to the youth affected by MS, and meeting once a month to work together to accomplish this goal. Composition The CYC is currently recruiting members to join our cause. If you are between the ages of 15 to 25 and are passionate about supporting the mission of the MS Society of Canada, we’d like to hear from you! There are a variety of ways to become involved on the CYC. For more details please contact Whitney Murray (contact details below). Additional Information ***This is a new committee being started in Simcoe County, the first of it's kind in Ontario! Whitney Murray, a 22 year old attended an MS Summer Camp in the summer of 2010 and shared her story in January 2012's MS Society newsletter. From there, it seemed that Whitney couldn't be the only youth wanting a committee dedicated to creating a sense of community to support youth affected by MS. Whitney was invited onto the Board of Directors as a Youth Advisor and has the role of Chair of the CYC. She is looking to recruit a network of youth with individual experiences and expertise who can act as a resource to their Chapter. If you are interested in joining the committee, please contact Whitney Murray. Facebook: MS Society, CYC Simcoe County Email: MSyouthOntario@gmail.com
