It’s that time of year again! The TYFPC is seeking new members for the 2026-27 council.
The TYFPC seeks to engage, build and mobilize youth to accelerate municipal food policy change and co-create a local, sustainable, and just food system in Toronto. We exist to provide a youth perspective on Toronto’s food community and to provide a unique space for youth to network, support and learn from one another, in order to better participate and innovate the food system around them.
This year, we have decided to expand out definition of youth to ages 16-35 (previously capped at 30). So if you have been following our group but you’ve been above the cap, its your opportunity to get involved now!
We will be recruiting about 6 individuals to join the council on a volunteer basis to network, educate and advocate for a better food system on behalf of the youth community in Ontario. Our ideal candidates are enthusiastic, motivated, have knowledge of food systems, food insecurity, food justice and food policy and interested in activating positive change within our food system!
Additional desired skills for members this year include: Experience in grant applications, administrative skills, social media marketing, website design, event organization, writing… to name a few!!
The deadline to apply is Friday, July 3rd, 2026 at 11:59 pm!
