Next Gen Action Council

Looking for a meaningful way to make an impact, build your leadership skills, and connect with other passionate young adults across Canada?

The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is recruiting volunteers (ages 19-35) to join our inaugural Next Gen Action Council, a national group of emerging leaders helping shape how Gen Z and Millennials connect with the cancer cause through advocacy, community building, fundraising, storytelling, and digital engagement.

This isn't your typical volunteer opportunity. You'll have a seat at the table, collaborate with other driven young professionals and community leaders, and influence initiatives designed for your generation.

We're currently recruiting for three volunteer leadership positions:

➡️ Next Gen Brand Engagement Lead: Drive ideas that strengthen CCS's connection with young adults through content, storytelling, digital engagement, and brand activation.

➡️ Next Gen Fundraising Lead: Shape fundraising priorities, champion new campaign ideas, influence donor and volunteer engagement strategies, and drive innovative approaches that inspire Gen Z and Millennial supporters across Canada.

➡️ Next Gen Mission & Advocacy Lead: Increase awareness of cancer-related issues and amplify the voice of young adults across advocacy, research, education, prevention, and survivorship.
