Youth Advisory Committee

Gillian Hebert

I’ve always known that I wanted to be an artist in some way or another growing up. Drawing was my escape and creating comics was a fun way I expressed myself in a world that didn’t make sense.

Gillian is the perfect adult mentor to our Youth Advisory Committee along with Shelby Watson. She is a loveable and fun person the youth respond well to and sincerely enjoy spending time with. She has a unique set of skills to maintain the interest of our youth committee through providing creative and fun input.

Emily M- (Age 12)

Emily has been a familiar face at Nick’s Place For Us since September 2022 when she began coming to the Homework & Art Club. Emily quickly demonstrated an immense maturity for her age and a true love of all things creative and began volunteering in October with our Children’s Halloween Party. Emily quickly demonstrated a knack for organizing space, working with younger kids and building relationships with our day campers and young program users.

Emily is a grade 7 student at West Ferris Secondary School and lives with her mom, dad and little brother as well as their two rescue dogs Merlin and Daisy.

We are so excited to see what the coming months and years bring working with Emily!
