FACTSnet 15-30 Network 2020
The FACTSnet 15 – 30 team is creating a user-friendly and accessible network for Youth and Young Adults (ages 15-30) to access comprehensive reviewed and summarized resources regarding life during COVID-19. This summer the FACTSnet 15-30 is also focusing on assisting disadvantaged Youth and Young Adults who may be Newcomers to Canada, Indigenous People, Visible Minorities and People with Disabilities
Opportunities:
The FACTSnet 15-30 team is determined to ensure students will have opportunities to get involved and employed during these unprecedented times. For summer jobs see FACTSnet COVID-19 Summer 2020.
One of our goals is to connect students to Post-Secondary education in a COVD-19 world. We plan to help students explore their options with specific reference to the following institutions:
University of Calgary
Ambrose University
King’s University
Vanguard College
Other Post-Secondary Institutions as we have resources to do Web Reviews.
