What is Campus to Community?

Campus to Community is a local program that allows students to develop skills, gain experience, learn about important issues and reflect on their experience by participating in a half day of community-engaged learning with a local non-profit organization. Students will be supporting organizations with an assigned project or task and will learn more about how their organization is supporting the Ottawa community. The Campus to Community program has partnered with six different Ottawa organizations in the 2024/2025 academic year. For a list of partners and to see some of the tasks associated with each organization, visit our Campus Partners website.
