The Logistics Committee
We are the team who think about the minor details of everything from potential peanut allergies right down to the number of microphones needed. We are the bolts and screws of the big framework.
Judy
I am a passionate and vibrant youth who wishes to give back to the community. I moved from Australia four years ago and been part of the YAC for the three of them.(I had no pet kangaroo and I do not say “Crikey”) I am the little Asian girl who is out there trying to make a difference in this big world and like the Fairy God Mother once said ” Even miracles take a little time”.
Baldeep
If he’s not playing cricket four times a week on the SMUS team, then Baldeep is usually found doing the tons of homework he gets each day! Baldeep is extremely excited for Rights Now and can’t wait to see all of YAC’s work in action!
Keely
She enjoys watching the local crows and being outdoors when she’s not busy with homework or YAC. She’s also a knitting fiend who knits her way through the school day. And occasionally stops to take notes, of course. Look for the trail of yarn scraps on the floor if you want find Keely anytime!
The Program Committee
They have approached speakers, sent countless emails, and throughout all this have had time to have a couple laughs. Connor, Joey and Alycia of the Program Committee have been working their tails off to make sure on May 8th that Rights Now! is a big success. After scoping out the best and brightest organizations dedicated to youth and youth rights, the most interesting keynote speakers and discovering the greatest entertainment in BC, the three musketeers of the Program Committee are ready to showcase their work on May 8th, at Rights Now!
Alycia
When she’s not eating countless servings of milk chocolate almonds, you can generally find Alycia outside chasing bunnies or holding rock-paper-scissors tournaments against herself. Almost out of high school, she is constantly swarmed with “decide your future right now or fail at life” moments, and is super excited for Rights Now! as it will cross a couple items of her ever long To-Do list and she may just get on TV. Come say hi to Alycia during Rights Now!; she likes making friends and she may just give you a chocolate almond or two!
Connor
If he’s not running in half an hour late to a meeting, then Connor is normally found gorging on snacks and trying to tell the rest of the YAC something at the same time. Or he may just be at home nervously studying for a bazillion tests, etc. But one thing is for sure: Connor is INCREDIBLY excited for Rights Now! So if someone who is laughing and smiling a lot runs up to you during the conference that is probably Connor and he wants you to know now that he honestly did not mean to freak you out.
Joey
I am a very loud and talkative person! I am 16 years old and go to Mount Doug Highschool! My favourite subects in school include mathematics and physical education! I love to play soccer and enjoy keeping my life very busy!! My hobbies include travelling, shopping, sports and music!
The Creative Committee
Our committee was in charge of marketing the conference. We worked together with a graphic designer and branding company to create a logo, poster, and slogan. In addition we found sponsors, great giveaways, gifts for our speakers and participant gift bags. We are very excited for this May 8th conference!
Christina
Christina is really excited for the Rights Now! Conference- and not just because of the pasta buffet. Two years with the YAC have been fun and beneficial- but more importantly have given her the opportunity to sample a wide variety of snacks. When she is not YACing, one can find Christina laughing heartily at a joke that isn’t that funny, playing the harp, or petting her dog Blackjack. See you all soon!
Caitlin
Caitlin has now become used to people not being able to pronounce or spell her last name. She can usually be found at the pool where she works as a lifeguard, or hanging out with her amazingly awesome friends at the beach. Caitlin is a seasoned veteran of attending conferences, which has come in handy on more than one occasion while planning the Rights Now! Conference. She is hoping to come away from the conference with a better understanding of the UNCRC, and she hopes to spread her infectious enthusiasm among the participants
Kelsey
When Kelsey isn’t at a fantastic YAC meeting eating yummy snacks you can usually find her astride a horse. Kelsey loves to sing and enjoys listening to music! She is very excited for the Rights Now Conference and can’t wait to meet new people at the event, see everyone there
