What is Campus to Community?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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. Each Campus to Community session related back to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campus to Community offers students the opportunity to learn how to problem solve by seeing real-world issues from different points of view and gain critical thinking by reflecting on our community and the world we live in. Participants can get involved in causes that directly relate to their field of study or work. This expands and applies the knowledge they have already acquired. This experience can also be added to resumes or applications for internships, research opportunities, or graduate school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courses, clubs, societies and departments can register their courses by completing a Campus to Community Partner Program form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
