Boost CYAC currently has a Youth Engagement Committee, wherein former clients can volunteer to join to give their feedback and ideas on how BOOST can keep improving. Boost CYAC is strongly committed to forming a committee that reflects the diversity of the populations we serve. We encourage membership from individuals from all cultures, racialized communities, abilities, diverse sexual and gender identities and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.
