SYA Events 2021-2022 Survey

We want to hear from you!

You gave us your feedback last year on the types of virtual events you were interested in - thank you! This year, SYA will likely be adopting a hybrid model of hosting events, with virtual events going on the calendar soon, and in-person events during the second half of the school year. Your feedback would be very helpful as we determine what events to plan moving forward.

In addition, we have had several questions about how people can volunteer for SYA. If that is of interest to you, there is also a section about volunteering where you can provide more information about how you would like to help.

Thank you!
