Community Impact Projects

Students spend the academic year working alongside local organizations, deepening their learning about local issues and how these intersect with theories of social justice and peace. They then take this learning and in consultation with their community partner, they develop a unique policy or advocacy tool to address a relevant issue related to the sector they are working in. These community impact projects are presented at a year end showcase and shared with the public. Several projects have gone on to be implemented in the community and have informed policy and advocacy efforts of local organizations. We see these projects as our gifts and giveback to the community.

Sector:

  • Indigenous
  • Gender
  • Environment
  • Youth
  • Health Equity
  • Housing
  • Poverty
  • Diversity and Inclusion
  • Food Security
