And They’re Off! Meet Actua's 2022 Outreach Instructors
July 19, 2022
Actua’s 2022 Outreach Instructors are off to northern and remote communities for STEM camp delivery.
Every year Actua hires a group of Outreach and Land Camp instructors to deliver summer STEM camps in northern, Indigenous and remote communities across Canada.
This year’s instructors are traveling within pods (a group of 3 instructors) to different communities each week, delivering culturally relevant, community-based STEM programming. Each instructor plays an invaluable role in creating safe and inclusive learning environments that help youth build critical skills and confidence and understand how STEM relates to their local communities.
Through this unique employment experience, instructors can explore diverse communities, immerse themselves in culturally enriching environments and build deep, long-lasting relationships with community partners and peers. All while serving as inspiring role models for youth and pillars of the Actua community.
