Are you between the ages of 16-29 and interested in workers’ rights, social justice, and labour arts & heritage? Looking to get involved in your local community? Join WAHC’s 2026-27 Youth Council!
Youth Council members shape WAHC programming & learn hands-on skills by developing a youth-led project throughout the year. There’s opportunities to connect with like-minded workers, and learn about contemporary issues in labour arts & heritage from professionals in the field.
Potential project inspiration includes creating a workshop on how to organize your barista job, host wheat-paste poster-making sessions, collect oral histories from multigenerational activists, curate an exhibit about Labour Futurisms, and more! Here are a few examples of past Youth Council projects.
The typical time commitment for this group is two meetings per month. Members can be local and non-local to Hamilton, ON.
