Common Wealth Credit Union's Young & Free team was at Lakeland College on Tuesday. The team is hosting it's second annual 'spokester' search to find a new representative for the Young & Free generation.
Young & Free is Alberta's first free financial offering designed for ages 17 to 25. The program engages young adults to become aware of the importance of taking care of their finances.
Larissa Walkiw, the 2008 Young & Free Spokesperson is moving on to pursue her career in film making. "Our spokesperson at the moment is a real gem." commented Kim Crockett, band manager of Young & Free.
The Young & Free Spokesperson's job is an amazing opportunity for any young adult. The position consists of a one year contract with a $36,000 annual salary. As well the lucky individual to take on the job receives a Chevy HHR, an Apple MacBook, digital camera, digital camcorder and a Blackberry.
In return the spokesperson will become a member of the Common Wealth Credit Union, work 37.5 hours per week, travel, attend and speak at different events, produce and post videos to the Internet and post daily blog entries.
The deadline for applications to be the 2009 Young & Free Spokesperson is this Friday and although it will be sad to see Walkiw move on, it will be exciting to see who will take her place and what they will do with their position over the next year.
