What is GC Students?

GC Students is a dynamic committee of students and public servants working to expand their networks and develop new skills. The committee is an active part of the Federal Youth Network (FYN). Together they collaborate to organize and host interdepartmental events for public servants. Events are geared toward fostering relaxed networking between students and executives of other departments to provide members educational opportunities in a comfortable environment.

Additionally, we are a highly effective tool to build networks and be exposed to learning while having fun.
