AccessStudio: Engage
Youth Engagement Opportunity: Be an Accessibility Advocate!
The Volunteer Centre of Southeastern New Brunswick is pleased to be partnering with Volunteer Canada regarding a new National ‘Youth Initiative’. Together with Volunteer Canada, AccessNow is now calling youth aged 15-30 from across Canada to pre-register to participate in the AccessStudio: Engage program. The program is an innovative, entrepreneurial education program, shaping future accessibility allies by transforming learning into action.
It is a free 20-hour professional development program designed to provide youth with the knowledge, experience, and skills needed to understand key themes about accessibility. Through guided online modules, virtual talks and events, and the use of AccessNow’s app to map out accessibility within participants’ communities, the program will provide participants with the tools to be accessibility advocates.
AccessStudio: Engage program begins in January 2024. Pre-registration opens till the end of December 2023. Click here to pre-register: https://accessnow.com/studio.
The Volunteer Centre is helping promote this new initiative by contacting youth from our community asking them to participate and pre-register for the AccessStudio: Engage Program. If you require any further information or questions about registering, please contact me at d.leblanc@volunteergreatrermoncton.com or direct line at 506-869-6905.
