Youth Engagement Project

Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, maintaining high levels of student engagement was a difficult task for JA. March break 2020 heralded the most sudden of changes in the span of a few days, putting an end to traditional face-to-face tutoring and in-person events and activities, and heralding remote synchronous and asynchronous digital teaching and learning experiences. This project will explore the minimum viable product for JA Nova Scotia’s youth engagement by evaluating the organization’s digital offerings, mediums, and channels and developing an integrated approach to increasing student participation rates and minimizing program attrition. The project will commence in Janurary 2022 and conclude in June 2022.
