MYLC Goals
Mississauga Youth Leadership Committee is a non-profit organization formed to help Canadian youths in acquiring important leadership qualities for inner improvement and in becoming active within the community by volunteering.
Short-term Goals
Develop an Active Volunteer Base
We have a rough volunteer base developed but we haven’t gotten a chance to make real use of it. This year we have many more events planned and we hope to get as many volunteers involved as we can to give them a chance to give back to their community. We believe it’s important for us to have a volunteer database so we can get across to as many individuals that are willing to help out in any way possible.
Community Networking
As in past years, our objective this year is to build upon coordinated efforts with various organizations, including Professional, Social, and Relief organizations. We are working towards making and maintaining a stable relationship with these organizations since we can work together to plan better and bigger events for the youth of Mississauga.
Help Establish Leadership Based Student Organizations
Work with similar youth organizations within our community in Peel to assist them to establish a strong unified platform and gain leadership skills. This will enable us to work together on many large scale events and share resources to help one another succeed with our goals and endeavors (i.e. such as organzing community events for a good cause).
We want to plan more workshops that are directed towards training our committee on various aspects such as leadership skills and public speaking. We want to maximize the committee’s learning experience every year by giving them opportunities to better understand each other and to learn many of the important skills a leader should have. Small workshops will be planned by the executive committee and the board of directors by inviting speakers and trainers.
Long Term Goals
Expanding the committee with more members and events
This year is the first year we will be organizing other major events aside from the MYLC annual conference and it will be a learning experience for not only the past members but for those of us who are new to MYLC. Once we have successfully planned and executed these events we will look into expanding the committee and possibly making sub-committees for each major event we plan. We will also look forward to planning other events which will hopefully be beneficial to all youth in our community.
Networking with University MSAs
This year our main target was to successfully network with high school MSAs and plan events involving as many high schools around the Peel region, however, in the years to come we hope to expand and network with University MSAs across the province and to work closely with organizations such as GTA-MSA.
Permanent meeting space
We are working towards a permanent meeting space for this year where we can meet to have meetings, small workshops or discussions. Having a permanent meeting space is very important as it will be very convenient for our committee members to know where all our meetings will take place and for the executive committee since they will not have to worry about availability of rooms and finding a convenient location for everyone.
MYLC newsletter
With our planned events and various initiatives we need to inform the general youth and get them involved. With a MYLC newsletter we can inform a large number of individuals about our cause and the young Muslim brothers and sisters that are involved and making a difference within the community. We can encourage people to write articles about various issues, have a news bulletin, and much more.
