About WeSearch!

WeSearch! is an independent youth research initiative that aims to connect youths interested in practical, action-oriented community research with civil society organizations requiring research support.

WeSearch! is motivated by the desire to provide an open platform for students in tertiary institutions and beyond to engage in meaningful and practical research, providing them the opportunity to hone their research skills, gain a better appreciation of the scope of applied social research, and encourage direct involvement in the local community.
