FYBY Role Application Introduction:
Hi NGLers!
We’re thrilled that you’re exploring opportunities with the For Youth, By Youth (FYBY) movement! As an ever-evolving movement, there will always be new ways to get involved, offering roles that align with a variety of interests, schedules, and goals. Whether you’re following along on social media or stepping into a leadership role, FYBY welcomes engagement at every level.
We encourage all NGL alumni to think about how FYBY could fit into their personal and professional journeys. FYBY opportunities range from “low/casual” engagement to “moderate/intermittent” participation in events, to “high/direct/regular” roles with specific responsibilities. There’s a place for everyone, at every level of commitment.
Most importantly, we’d love to hear more about your interests and goals. We’ll be gathering feedback annually to help you find meaningful ways to contribute to FYBY. This year, please complete our Annual Survey by Friday, November 15th:
Below, you’ll find an FAQ with answers to some common questions. If you still have questions, feel free to reach out to Donald or Phil on WhatsApp.
