Learn about UNICEF Canada's U-Report
Join us August 16th as we are joined by UNICEF Canada U-Reporters to learn all about how young people are working to collect data that inform policy and advocacy efforts in Canada!
U-Report is a digital platform for youth that asks poll questions to get their perspectives on issues and decisions that affect them. It is an opportunity for young people to be part of the change they want to see in Canada and speak out on issues that matter to them.
U-Report Canada is free, confidential, and open to anyone ages 13-24.
When: August 16 at 11:00 AM EST (online)
For 125 years, BGC Clubs have provided safe spaces and opportunities for youth, impacting over 600 communities across Canada. #OpportunityChangesEverything
