The Rural Youth Network

Visit the Rural Youth Network

The creation of the Rural Youth Network (RYN) was brought forward as a response to COVID-19 in early 2020, with a main focus on supporting and connecting young people through online opportunities during a time of uncertainty. In the spirit of positive community building and effective collaboration, we shared these valuable resources with those who were trying to effectively study or work online during this time.
