Young Nurses Take Action Foundation

BECOME A MEMBER TODAY!!! This year we really want to focus on communities at home and reinforcing our collaborations abroad. We would love for you to be a part of it! Membership is open to RN's/RPN's/ and nursing students. At our AGM in December we voted to remove the membership fee for this year. Please visit www.ynta.ca under membership for more information. Submit the membership application if you are interested!! We are also looking for passionate young nurses who want ...to become a part of YNTA’s Executive Board to assist in promoting leadership, mentorship, and global citizenship. We are currently needing GENERAL members to fill positions. Although membership is only open to RN's/RPN's/and nursing students, we want to acknowledge that YNTA would not be anything without the support of so many individuals and groups. We hope for your continued support!! Please keep an eye out for upcoming opportunities to help make 2021 a little easier for those in our communities.

We have extended our Emergency Shelter until Wednesday February 17th, 2021 , if you would like to volunteer please sign up using this link here https://voluntee...rsignup.org/EK4QB Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa Barakatuh, While many of us take cover from the cold weather in our homes, many of our fellow Edmontonians suffer a different fate. The winter season, especially during times like these next few days of extreme cold coupled with our new reality in the midst of a global pandemic, our homeless populations are facing increased danger and risk of death. With this sobering reality in mind, Al Rashid Mosque has activated its overnight space to accommodate community members who face homelessness. As part of the Winter Emergency Response with the City of Edmonton and Homeward Trust, Edmonton Transit has scheduled Al Rashid on the route and is therefore able to transport individuals to our Centre all night until February 13, 2021. Over the past two years, we have been blessed with the opportunity to host over 200 less fortunate neighbours and we want to make sure that they have a place to stay this year. We urge all citizens around our Mosque area to direct any individuals experiencing homelessness to come to our facility so as to get help or call 211 where the authorities can provide assistance. Community members who wish to volunteer may contact [email protected] to make arrangements. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are only accepting water bottles, wrapped snacks, and disinfecting wipes as in-kind donations. You can support this initiative by making donations through the link below. Donations will help pay for disposable blankets and pillows, cleaning supplies, bus tickets, hardy snacks and security at night so we can monitor visitors, staff and volunteers coming to the building and keep everyone safe.
