EduKit Advisory Council

The Advisory Council

Students for Consent Culture (SFCC) is recruiting 12 members for an Advisory Council (AC) to guide the development of our Education Toolkit (EduKit). Applications will be open to anyone interested in participating.

AC meetings will take place every two weeks over a 6-month period between October 2022 and March 2023. All Advisory Council members will be compensated for their time and expertise.

Recruiting Diverse Voices

The AC is intended to reflect the diversity of student voices on campuses across so-called Canada. We are hope to ensure that Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, 2SLGBTQ+, disabled, international, and graduate students are represented in our work. To reflect this, the selection process for the AC will prioritize marginalized voices. We encourage you to self-identify if you belong to any of these communities.

We will also work towards mitigating potential tokenization and alienation by recruiting more than one person per marginalized identity where possible.

As part of this process, we will ensure that existing partners and collaborators who hold significant expertise are made aware of this opportunity.

Applications will be reviewed by at least two (2) team members, including the Facilitation and Outreach Coordinator, plus at least one other member. The AC should be formed by the end of September 2022.

For more information about the Advisory Council, please see the Terms of Reference.

This work is funded by Women and Gender Equality (WAGE) Canada.
