3. Network Members

Network Members

We are a growing network of programs and institutions committed to youth STEM engagement. Actua has network members across Canada, in every region. All network members have several things in common such as:

  • A shared mission and delivery model
  • Registered charitable status and affiliation with post-secondary institution
  • Undergraduate student participation
  • Commitment to engaging underserved and/or underrepresented youth 
  • Located in Canada

Actua provides network members with support through training, resources, and funds to help engage more youth, and through higher impact programs. Actua does not charge any membership fees. Instead, network members recognize affiliation with Actua and recognize Actua's national funders on websites and in formal reports. Network Members also share the impact of their programs through photos, testimonials, and statistics reports.
