Apathy is Boring was founded in 2004, when a choreographer, a filmmaker, and a fashion photographer met at a party. Troubled by how few of their friends were actively participating in Canada's democracy, they started an online campaign to mobilize youth to vote during the 2004 federal election.Today, twenty years later, we still work year round to support and educate youth to become active and contributing citizens in Canada's democracy.Our vision is a Canada where every young Canadian is an active citizen, and youth are meaningfully engaged in all aspects of the democratic process.This is more than just voting. It is about setting up youth to find their lane for engagement and ultimately, take charge of the conditions they live in.**About the Position**

Apathy is Boring’s work is rooted in the principle that democracy is the best system of government to advance the public interest. We know that young people in Canada today face disproportionate barriers towards having a say towards the outcomes of elections and, by extension, the policies that governments enact.
