Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency Youth Preparedness Council

High school students across Saskatchewan are invited to step into leadership roles and help shape the future of community safety through the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency’s Youth Preparedness Council (YPC).

The YPC brings together students in Grades 9 to 12 who are passionate about making a difference. Members work collaboratively on real world projects focused on disaster preparedness, climate resilience and public safety while gaining hands-on experience and building leadership skills.

Applications are open to students in Grades 9 to 12 with strong leadership and time management skills. The deadline to apply is August 5, 2026.

Visit the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency website for more information. Application forms can be submitted by email to youthpreparednesscouncil@gov.sk.ca.

Past and emerging project ideas include:

Creating student-led emergency preparedness campaigns for schools.
Developing social media and video content to promote FireSmart and seasonal safety.
Designing community outreach activities and presentations for younger students.
Exploring innovative ideas to strengthen local preparedness and resilience.

The 2026–27 term runs from September to May and includes virtual meetings, mentorship and project collaboration. Members commit a minimum of four hours per month to the council, with additional opportunities to shadow professionals and expand their experience.

Participation offers students the chance to:

Build their resume and explore careers in public safety
Work alongside like-minded youth from across Saskatchewan
Receive mentorship and support to bring ideas to life
Contribute to meaningful projects that impact their communities
