Our Red Deer Youth Council will be accepting applications starting August 24th 2026! Follow us on so
In October 2025, we started the Red Deer Youth Council, with passionate Red Deer youth who want to make a difference! The RDYC is governed by Steering Committee Members from SPARC and across the community and a Coordinator (or two) are appointed to help guide the youth. Youth are empowered to plan positive, kind acts that are of interest to them. They make the decisions and handle all details of the RDYC and the adult mentors serve to support and guide. Check out some stories and pictures below from last year!
