What are the time commitments of being a CYC member?
CYC is a national organization with members from all across Canada. We have members from Vancouver to Iqualuit to Toronto to St.John's! CYC members attend one teleconference a month where members discuss CYC events, ideas for campaigns and stay up-to-date on Sexual and Reproductive Health issues. Members also stay connected via email. CYC is always looking for more ways to stay connected with members so if you have any ideas please let the coordinator know!
