• Oversee youth delegate selection for national and international consultations
• Inform youth caucus members of RCEN activities and encourage their participation
• Encourage Aboriginal and Francophone youth groups participation in RCEN activities
• Continue financial administration of the Youth Environmental Network (YEN)
