BREAKING NEWS: TWO NEW PROGRAMS HAVE ENTERED THE GYC!
After much anticipation, the GYC is proud to present two BRAND NEW programs: The MENSA Youth Discord and the MENSA Temporary Membership!
The MENSA Youth Discord provides a unique platform for GYG youth aged 13 and up to connect, play, and learn about new GYG events no matter where they live or what time zone they're in.
If you are a GYG youth interested in the MENSA Youth Discord, email shannon.wong@mensacanada.org for an invite link!
Are you someone who's interested in joining the GYG? If so, joining the Temporary Membership Program would be just right for you!
The Temporary Membership Program aims to give non-GYG youth and families a FREE, delightful sneak peek into the world of GYG. It is a program that youth aged 13+ can sign up for themselves, and it all starts with joining the MENSA Youth Discord.
Note: Please email gyc@mensacanada.org if you are GYG member interested in the weekly Astronomy Club

About the Gifted Youth Group (GYG)
Purpose
The GYG exists to connect and support young Mensans across this huge country, and serve as community and a resource for young Mensans and their parents alike.
Initiatives
We have started some key initiatives, and hope to have several more underway, with the help of our fabulous volunteer force!
Regional Representatives
Regional reps act as the community connector: asking questions from local mensans about activities in their region or city, perhaps organizing or advertising meet-ups, activities, etc. and bringing local and regional questions and suggestions to the national Committee.
Mensa Youth Webpage
Our new webpage for all things mensa+youth! Stay tuned for more great content like resources, chats and games, and of course our annual Kids AG!
Annual Kids AG
Why not launch an annual event right in the middle of covid? 2021 is the first time this was offered, and we hope to make it happen every year. For next year we hope you join, tell your friends, attend some talks and play some games – we want to see you there!
What next?
We are constantly trying to do better. Please tell us what you want to see, and what you want us to do. Please be specific! “On-line resource list” is ok, but “online class for my 4 year old to learn how to play the kazoo” is much better! Do you want career days for kids to consider their futures, chess clubs, informal chat groups—whatever it is please tell us! Email: gyc@mensacanada.org
