Q: When’s the next meeting/event/fundraiser?

A: Great question! We typically have team meetings once a month, but some sub-committees, like the exec team, may meet more frequently if needed. The dates are chosen based on everyone's availability.

Q: Where’s the next meeting/event/fundraiser?

A: Our monthly team meetings are held at the Catalyst Commons in Waterloo (137 Glasgow St Unit 210), and our executive team meets weekly. Our events take place all over Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge, so be sure to check out our website for details on upcoming events!

Q: Do I have to attend every meeting/Do I need to provide notice if I’m going to miss one?

A: Great question! We understand schedules can get busy during the school year, so while we appreciate everyone attending every meeting, it's not mandatory. If you do miss a meeting, no worries - just catch up by reviewing the meeting minutes on our website and chatting with us on Slack. We've got you covered!

Q: Is there a cost to joining the program?

A: Not at all! Joining our team is completely free, thanks to our amazing sponsors. We want to ensure that there are no financial barriers for teens interested in getting involved with our program.

Q: Is this a club? If so, how can I join?

A: Excellent question! SVP Teens isn't affiliated with any school or school board, making it a unique opportunity to meet like-minded teens from all over the region while giving back to the community. Our teen applications usually go out in late May, so keep an eye out if you're interested in joining us! We'll review the applications over the summer and let you know if you've been accepted and what position you've been assigned (if you've applied for an exec role). We'd love to have you on the team!

Q: Can I get volunteer hours?

A: Yes!! With consistent attendance, teens can earn more than the required 40 volunteer hours over the course of one year.
