JFBEE Youth Research Fellowships: Expression of Interest Form

DEADLINE: Sunday, April 21st, 2024 at 10 PM

The Jane-Finch Bridging Education to Employment (JFBEE) is a collaborative that aims to improve educational outcomes and economic opportunities for young people in the Jane-Finch area. Our research has shown that young people must be more actively involved in designing, running, and evaluating tailored programs and services that meet their needs.

JFBEE is currently working to build stronger partnerships within the local employment ecosystem in Jane-Finch to improve coordination and better support Black, Indigenous, racialized, and newcomer youth.

If you want to become a Youth Fellow Researcher and take a lead researching and developing solutions to current youth education and employment issues, we invite you to submit an Expression of Interest!

If you're unsure how to answer any parts of this form, email Stephanie at stephaniel@janefinchcentre.org. We can help you over email or book a short phone call or Zoom meeting.
