Denis Gour, Regional Recruitment Officer for the _ Northern District. : More than 1500 young people in Ontario, three times as many as ever : before, have an oppor- tunity this year to parti- cipate in Katimavik, Canada's unique volun- teer youth program. On Jan. 23, Katimavik launched a major parti- cipant recruitment drive across Ontario. Ten re- cruitment officers, all young people with pre- vious Katimavik ex- perience, will blitz more than 700 high schools, post secondary institu- tions, community cen- tres, employment cen- tres and youth groups with information and presentations about Katimavik. "The recruitment fo- cus is on the personal approach. We ---- young people to y vik ies program, to motivate them to ap- ply," says Elaine Sigler, the sor 1s Re- The recruitment of- ficers' message, and the theme for this year's campaign is simple: Katimavik, is a unique opportunity to learn, to work, to live. Through Katimavik, young peo- ple have the opportun- ity to do invaluable community service 'work, to travel across Canada, learn a second language, and in the course of this nine- month experience, dis- cover much more about themselves, Canada and Canadians. Any 17 to 21 year old young adult who is a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, can apply to the program.

This cam- paign is the largest ever undertaken by Katima- vik and was made pos- sible by the additional funding announced fast spring by the Secretary of State. In 1983, only 500 Ontario participants could take the program. This year's campaign will concentrate on two target groups: the young unemployed, and stud- ents. "Katimavik exposes young people to the ment many different practical work and life situations, and this helps them fo- cus on career options they want to pursue after completion of the nine-month program'"' explains Ms. Sigler. "Through their volun- teer work, participants are exposed to a variety of work skills, such as carpentry, forest man- agement, teaching and working with the handi- capped. More import- antly, participants leave the program with a solid understanding of the value of work."' Nationally, there will be 5000 young people working in more than 400 communities across Canada in 1984. Each of these young people will spend three months in three different Canadian communities, working on non-profit projects which directly benefit the host community. All room, board and trans- portation are paid for by Katimavik and_parti- cipants receive a dollar a day for pocket money. On successful comple- tion of the program, participants receive a $1000 honorarium. "The most important thing for potential parti- cipants is that they be committed to working and learning and that N.S.D.C.
