The Federation of Canadian Secondary Students / Fédération des élèves du secondaire au Canada (FCSS-FESC) is an entirely non-partisan youth-led charity that aims to inform, educate, and ultimately empower high school students to foster social justice initiatives in their schools and local communities.
We use a mutual aid model where students are at the centre of our programs and initiatives. We encourage students to challenge systems of power that perpetuate social disadvantage and actively ground our work in an anti-oppressive and intersectional framework.

Candidates should be strong leaders with efficient time management skills in order to effectively manage the organization and its programmes and services. As a registered charity, the FCSS-FESC is subject to regulations under the Income Tax Act , Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act , and Canada Revenue Agency guidelines. As such, candidates should have at minimum working knowledge of these regulatory structures.
Candidates should also have a firm understanding of the existing problems in education and how the organization's programmes and services address these barriers, which include mental health, equity and accessibility, utility, post-secondary transition support, and empowerment for self-advocacy.

Be an individual (i.e., not a corporation, society, or agency);
Be a resident of Canada (i.e., a Canadian Citizen, Permanent Resident of Canada, or a person granted refugee protection under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act );
