Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Figures in part 1 cover 3 years. Courses offered multiple times are counted as a single course though. Some of the courses, including the Youth Leadership Congress which is sustainability-inclusive, were offered multiple times such as annually. Because the curriculum is the same though, we only counted each course once.
