"In Her Voice" is a new CAAWS project to talk to girls and young women about their healthy living experiences, with a particular focus on physical activity and sport - what they like, what they don't like, what healthy living means to them, etc. The project will provide an opportunity to validate or adjust CAAWS messages about engaging girls and young women, and enhance existing knowledge about girls' and young women's diverse experiences. In Her Voice focus groups are being conducted by CAAWS in select sites across the country. However, at this time, we need a site in the Lower Mainland or Vancouver Island!
At each site, CAAWS would like to host two focus groups - one with young women who are actively engaged in sport, and one with young women who are not involved with sport. Each focus group will consist of 6-8 participants aged 13-17; and will require approximately 2 hours. Ideally both focus groups will be delivered on one day; currently the facilitator is available the last week of August.
As a Site Coordinator, you would be responsible for:
- Recruiting focus group participants (e.g. inviting or "hand-selecting" participants)
- Ensuring permission forms (provided by CAAWS) are received from parents
- Booking a venue to host the focus groups (cost paid by CAAWS)
- Arranging light refreshments for focus group participants (cost paid by CAAWS)
- Ensuring someone is onsite to assist with logistics as necessary
Note: A CAAWS representative will be conducting the focus groups.
For your assistance you will receive an honorarium and a copy of the final report based on the focus group findings.
If you are interested in being involved in this project, please contact Leila Pfaefflie at leilap@uvic.ca or SydneyMillar, CAAWS' National Project Manager, at snmillar@caaws.ca or 604.738.2468.
