Based on research, we know that young adults in Canada face many barriers to visiting and experiencing the outdoors. These include a lack of access, knowledge, equipment and transportation, as well as a general lack of awareness of opportunities. Until recently, Parks Canada had seen many years of declining visitation at national parks and national historic sites, primarily due to these factors. In response to these trends and in an effort to become more relevant to young Canadians, the Parks Canada Campus Club Volunteer Leaders Network was initiated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1510946670820_38338\" class=\"sqs-block quote-block sqs-block-quote null sqs-col-6 span-6 float float-right\" data-block-type=\"31\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<figure class=\"block-animation-none\">\n<blockquote data-animation-role=\"quote\"><p>\u201cOur club strongly believes in #NatureForAll.

Through outreach efforts and a variety of communication platforms (webpage, private Facebook page for the virtual network, Facebook messages, Skype\/FaceTime, emails, postal communication, Google drive, etc.) we respond to individual volunteer leaders&#8217; needs and requests in a timely manner, and not always during regular business hours.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Engagement: <\/strong>We also work to build relationships based on trust, accountability and willingness to try new things, not only with campus club volunteer leaders but also with our regional colleagues. By connecting clubs with local staff, they get to know each other and are in a better position to build a long and sustainable relationship based on &#8220;win-win&#8221; collaborations that lead to immersion.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Immersion<\/strong>: Among our key successes are the authentic and transformative experiences that ultimately bring club volunteer leaders to strongly value and support Parks Canada\u2019s mandate. We help to overcome any barriers that might prevent clubs from reaching their goals (transportation, equipment, accommodation, rental space, etc.) so they can host speakers series, visit parks and\/or historic sites, organize and\/or support environmental protection activities including shoreline clean ups, restoration of species at risk efforts, etc.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Ambassadorship<\/strong>: Campus clubs illustrate the true power, importance and value of volunteering for Parks Canada. Through their engagement, club volunteer leaders increase awareness among their peers where they are, about the work that Parks Canada does. They become regional \u201cyouth ambassadors\u201d who are vocal supporters and champions of Parks Canada\u2019s places and mandate.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1510679324100_47572\" class=\"sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule\" data-block-type=\"47\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1510679324100_47929\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Webpage:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parkscanada.gc.ca\/campusclub\">parkscanada.gc.ca\/campusclub<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parcscanada.gc.ca\/clubetudiant\">parcscanada.gc.ca\/clubetudiant<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/pc.campus.pc@canada.ca\/\">pc.campus.pc@canada.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Facebook:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pcparkslife\/?fref=ts\">@ParksLife<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pcparcsavie\/?fref=ts\">@Parcs\u00e0vie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>YouTube Videos: <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Fall season: <\/strong><br \/>\nEnglish: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4JDG_RaDYWo\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4JDG_RaDYWo<\/a><br \/>\nFrench: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=W9rbQmjFlOw\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=W9rbQmjFlOw<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Winter season: <\/strong><br \/>\nEnglish: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RVDIuQnHMT4\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RVDIuQnHMT4<\/a><br \/>\nFrench: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HvDuChzf64A\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HvDuChzf64A<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reaching out to young adults where they study, live, work and play.
