I would like to participate, but…
I have a child that I would need to bring with me.
We can offer childcare for you and your child. Please indicate on the application form whether or not you will require childcare. We invite you to carefully read our Policy for Children.
I have reduced mobility and I want to know about accessibility.
Jouvence is not fully wheelchair accessible. Please contact us to discuss your particular needs.
I have specific dietary needs.
Where it is possible, we will accommodate your dietary requirements. Please indicate your dietary needs on the application form.
We are able to accommodate:
Specific diets related to health
It is necessary to discuss with us before the event in order to allow enough time to make arrangements.
Vegetarians
Two options are offered at each meal: one with meat, and one without. If pork is served, it will be identified.
Allergies
It is necessary to list your food allergies on the application form so that we can be certain that these are well identified. Nuts, milk products, and other foods will be identified so that they can be avoided.
How the transport and accommodation fees work.
The fee to participate in the Retreat OR the Amplify Training Program is $200.
The fee to participate in both programs is $300.
There are no fees to participate in the ELLE Project for young women.
The participation fee includes:
- Accommodation at Jouvence (towels and bedding are supplied)
- All meals (delicious, high-quality food)
- Over twenty different workshops offered by experienced and relevant facilitators
- Access to resources (zines, manuals, etc.) on site
- Travel to and from the event site, departing from downtown Montreal
Girls Action will finance the travel and accommodation costs for all ELLE participants.
Selection Process:
As there are only a limited number of places available, Girls Action undertakes a comprehensive selection process for participants*.
In order to ensure a diversity of voices during the events, an advisory committee has been set up to facilitate the selection process.
*Girls Action prioritizes the participation of marginalized persons and persons living and working in isolated communities.
How will I know if I was selected?
Once your application has been chosen you will receive an email. It will contain various documents that you will need to fill-out and return to us by September 5th, 2010 in order to confirm your participation. The following documents must be submitted to us by the deadline:
- Participation Agreement
- Minor Release Form (for participants under 18)
- Media Release Form
- Health Form
As soon as we have received all of your documents, we can then proceed with the reservation of transportation (airplanes, trains, etc.) during the month of August 2010.
