I am interested in joining the BUILD program, as I want to learn how to engage with local and federal government officials and policymakers in order to create lasting change. I have volunteered with a number of organizations throughout my life and believe that I have helped support members of my local and global communities, but recognize that the amount and intensity of problems currently facing our world can be tackled more effectively at the institutional level. Over the past year, I have seen a number of calls for community members to speak at local city council meetings. I want to be able to speak up about the issues that concern not only myself, but my broader community members as well.
CARLY’S EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING FOCUSED ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ACCESS & SAFETY:
- Examined the current political/policy landscape in Winnipeg around public transportation to better understand challenges and opportunities to intervene
- Attended city council, committee, and community stakeholder meetings in the lead-up to municipal elections
- Connecting with Functional Transit Winnipeg to participate in their upcoming campaign being developed for 2023
