Position Description
SevenGen is an Indigenous youth council committed to a sustainable and equitable energy future.
Our mission is to create space and mobilize participation for Indigenous youth and communities to advance in the energy sector through capacity building, mentorship, program development, and advocacy. SevenGen envisions a future where our kin, seven generations ahead of us exist harmoniously, where the stewardship of the Earth is honoured and protected. SevenGen 2022 is supported through coaching and administrative support from Student Energy.
Student Energy is the charity that hosts SevenGen. We are building the next generation of energy leaders who will accelerate the world’s transition to a sustainable energy future. We are a hard-working, fast-paced team devoted to youth empowerment in the world of energy. Our team punches above its weight to develop innovative programs, meaningful international partnerships, and serve our community of young energy changemakers.
