Next Meeting

1. To be eligible for membership in the New Brunswick Youth Council,  individuals must have a  genuine interest in participating in youth-led community initiatives. 

2. Youth can apply to join the council by completing an application form  provided by the current council members or organizers. The  application should include personal information, relevant experience,  and a statement of interest. 

3. The members of the Data-Analyst Council will review all applications  and assist new members in finding their place within the council.  They will select members based on their commitment to the council's  mission and values, as well as their potential to contribute positively  to the group. It is not the council's intention to reject applications  unless there is a valid reason. 

4. Membership in the New Brunswick Youth Council is for a term of one  year, but if members wish to end their tenure before the next term,  the council must be given a two-week notice. When a term ends,  members can choose to continue contributing to the council.

1. All council members are expected to attend council meetings and events unless they have a reasonable excuse. Members are allowed  up to three unexcused absences per year. If this expectation is not  met, a warning and a discussion with council officials will be initiated.  The member will have to make up for the missed meetings. If these  interventions are unsuccessful, the council may consider the  possibility of expulsion. 

2. Members are required to treat one another with respect, courtesy,  and fairness at all times. Harassment, discrimination, or any form of  disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. 

3. Members should respect other’s confidentiality during discussions  held during council meetings. 

4. Members are encouraged to actively participate in council initiatives  and events. This may include leading projects, volunteering, and  contributing to discussions. 

5. When representing the New Brunswick Youth council online or  through social media, members must adhere to responsible and  respectful conduct.

1. The council will have two co-lead positions to oversee and  coordinate the council's activities. These positions will be filled  through an annual election. Co-lead elections are only for members  that have been in the council for over six months. 

2. Members interested in running for co-lead positions must announce  their candidacy at least two weeks before the election. They will need  to provide a statement of their goals and qualifications. 

3. Council members will vote in a private election to select the co-leads.  The candidates with the highest number of votes will be elected as  co-leads. In the event of a tie, a runoff election may be held. 

4. Coleader positions are for a one-year term, renewable for a  maximum of three consecutive terms. If a coleader position is not  adequately fulfilled, an intervention mandate will be put into effect  to address the situation. A minimum of three objections will be  required for an intervention to occur. 

5. Outgoing co-leads will work with the newly elected co-leads to  ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities and knowledge. 

6. Co-leads will be responsible for overseeing council activities,  coordinating meetings, and representing the council to external  organizations. 

1. Council members are expected to show dedication to the goals and  activities of the council. This commitment includes actively  participating in council projects, attending meetings, and contributing  to the council's success. 

2. Members are encouraged to volunteer their time and skills to  support community initiatives and events organized by the council.  

3. Members are expected to conduct themselves with professionalism,  integrity, and a commitment to the council's values. This includes  adhering to agreed-upon deadlines, maintaining a positive and  collaborative attitude, and striving for excellence in all council-related  activities. 

4. Council members are encouraged to work together in a spirit of  cooperation and mutual support. Effective teamwork is crucial to the  success of the council's initiatives and projects. 

5. Members are expected to continuously seek opportunities for  personal and professional growth. The council aims to be a place of  learning and development, and members are encouraged to engage  in self-improvement and skill-building.
