Structure and Programs
Actua operates on a membership structure, consisting of member organizations located at 31 university and college institutions across Canada. Actua’s member programs are delivered by Undergraduate science, engineering and technology students and high school students through science camps and workshops, which they customize to the needs of local communities.
The programs use hands-on activities in fields such as health, mining, biology and ecology. The majority of member organizations also travel outside the urban centers where they are located to deliver camps and workshops in rural and remote communities.
The programs include:
- National Mentorship Program
- National Aboriginal Outreach Program
- National Girls Program
- Go Where Kids Are Program

Famous quotes containing the words structure and/or programs:
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
