Introduction

The Canadian Council of Muslim Women’s Community Works project is seeking youth 18-30 to participate in the design and development of the CCMW Field Guide for Youth-Led Community Building. The CCMW is looking for five passionate community change-makers to publish content in the Field Guide. Once a proposal is selected, youth will receive hands-on training and mentorship to design and develop content in the Field Guide. Appropriately completed content will be remunerated in the amount of $200. Other incentives open for discussion.

Need inspiration? This is the kind of resource we’re hoping to develop. See especially the Table of Contents for topic ideas.

The Vision

Increasingly, communities are being politically polarized and many leaders are struggling to find the appropriate tools to sustain meaningful dialogue on issues regarding racism, violence, and poverty. The CCMW Field Guide for Youth-Led Community Building will be an online resource for youth-led projects across Canada and beyond with tips and tools to facilitate discussions and workshops on topics related to community building.

The Field Guide will be co-designed and developed by a team of CCMW staff and youth from across Canada. Selected youth will learn about curriculum design, workshop facilitating, and community building.
