Brampton Youth Cabinet general membership remains open to residents aged 14 to 29, giving young people a way to contribute ideas even though its first executive team has already been chosen. No previous experience is required to apply.
The City announced the inaugural 25-member executive on September 9. Its term runs from September 2026 to June 2027, with monthly meetings planned. General membership remains open throughout that term, according to the City’s announcement.
For residents interested in local issues, the immediate opportunity is to join the wider membership, stay informed about activities and take part in youth engagement initiatives. The executive recruitment has finished; the current invitation is for general members.
Joining the Brampton Youth Cabinet
Applicants must live in Brampton and be between 14 and 29. The official cabinet page contains the application link and asks prospective members to review its Terms of Reference and Code of Conduct before applying.
The City’s announcement also directs people who want to get involved to [email protected]. That provides a contact for questions about participation while applicants review the published membership information.
The cabinet is part of Brampton’s 2026–2030 Youth Engagement Strategy. Its mandate includes advising on issues affecting young people, supporting projects led by youth and helping residents build leadership and advisory skills through work with City staff and other members.
Four groups with different responsibilities
The executive is divided into Advisory, Communications, Outreach and Events working groups. Each has two co-leads: one teenager aged 14 to 18 and one young adult aged 19 to 29. Advisory, Communications and Outreach each have four core members; Events has five.
The Advisory group is tasked with researching youth trends, making recommendations to City staff and reporting on progress at the end of the term. Outreach is intended to build connections with schools, youth groups and community organisations, identify emerging concerns and develop a school ambassador model.
Communications members work on newsletters, social media and campaigns alongside the City’s communications team. Events members are assigned planning, logistics, budgets and participant feedback, including developing a major event for the end of the term. These are responsibilities set out by the City, rather than a list of projects already delivered.
The Brampton Youth Cabinet executive includes representation across all five ward pairings. General membership offers young residents beyond that executive a route to stay connected as its first year develops.
