Alana Martin

Minister to The GO Project

“I’ve been working with GO since 2010 when I started as a summer site staff while in University! Since then, I’ve worked as a summer youth coordinator, children’s program coordinator, pilgrimage coordinator, program director, and now, Minister to The GO Project. Outside of GO, I bring 10+ years of experience in children and youth ministry within the United Church of Canada at local and national levels and am deeply passionate about creating resources and space for young people to explore their faith and to be inspired to make the world a better place. I studied Spanish and International Development at Dalhousie University, spending a year on exchange in Mexico and then Cuba. I am a Diaconal Minister in the United Church of Canada. I live in Toronto with my dog Murphy and partner, Matt, and am originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia where my family still lives. I love sewing, watching bad TV, and spending time with friends and family.”

Finn Parks

I’m originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, but have been living in Ontario for the past three years studying French Horn Performance at the University of Toronto! I am a long-time member of the United Church of Canada and have been a volunteer and employee of several churches working with children and youth. Most recently I was employed by Islington United Church as administration support and children’s programming support, working with their Youth Group, Children’s Chorus, and Godly Play programming. I am thrilled to be working with The GO Project as Youth Program Coordinator for Go Beyond: Youth Summer Program in Oakville and Saskatoon for summer 2025. When I’m not working I enjoy relaxing with my roommate Hazel, exploring the city, and crocheting!
