Volunteer for the ALIS Youth Advisory Committee!

Are you 15-24?
Want to volunteer and use Facebook at the same time?

The ALIS Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) could be for you!

The ALIS Youth Advisory Committee is a unique, online volunteer opportunity for youth across Alberta to have their say on the content, features and publications posted on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) website.

As a committee member, you’ll join the YAC Facebook group for group discussions and to receive monthly activities. Each activity gives you a link to ALIS website pages, features or a publication to look at. Once you’ve reviewed it, fill out a feedback form and tell us what you think. It’s that easy! To yak a little further, there will be a few committee meetings throughout the year held through web conferencing.
