If you are an educator, you can help by...

• Supporting the timely completion of surveys within schools (Grades 7 through post-secondary) between February and March (see survey link on main page);
• Providing space and class time for focus groups and interviews;
• Supporting ongoing student participation in the strategy through linkages such as co-op placements, community service hours, class projects, and allowing students to participate in meetings and forums during class time;
• Identifying youth champions to lead OCYS teams (see "The OCYS Teams"); and,
• Exploring opportunities for your organization's ongoing or upcoming initiatives to be linked with the OCYS to ensure that resources are maximized and duplication is avoided (e.g., review research strategies, youth projects, etc. to see if they could contribute to the OCYS or vice versa)
