Who can help with youth opportunities or the advisory committee?

Contact youth@ajax.ca or 365-282-5973. The advisory-committee paragraph contains an inconsistent term written October 2026-June 2026, so this guide does not repeat it as a valid application term. Ask the coordinator for the actual dates.
