The BCCYICW Committee is planning a campaign to spread the word about how awesome children and youth in and from care are, and we want to hear from you!
Join the #YouthInCareAreAwesome Campaign!
What makes children and youth in and from care awesome? Tell or show us in your own way! You can send in art, writing, videos, memes, photography, or whatever medium you want!
Your submissions could be shared on BCCYICW social media, the BCCYICW website, on promotional materials or at BCCYICW events!
You can use the question, “What makes children and youth in and from care awesome?” as a guide for your submission, or you can share something you’re proud of about yourself and/or your peers in and from care.
Open to children and youth in and from government care in BC up to age 24.
