The Canadian Young Friends Council

In October 2017, the Canadian Young Friends Council was formed to provide a forum for newcomers in the museum and cultural heritage volunteer network in Canada. This group brings together young professionals and students between the ages of 18 and 35 for a variety of cultural and networking activities. The YFC’s aim is to promote our museums, engage young people from across the country, and encourage them to volunteer to increase cultural resilience.

Join Us!

Are you a museum volunteer? Or are you a museum fan? If you are between 18-35 years old, we would love to have you join our Young Friends Council.

We organize museum visits, meetings and outings. We also work closely with CFFM to promote the role of volunteers in Canada’s museums and heritage sites.

To join one of our existing Young Friends groups in Montreal and Ottawa, or to begin the process of opening a Young Friends chapter in your city, send an email to our Canadian Young Friends Coordinator, Megan Batty at coordinator@museumfriends.org.
