About the Centre for Community Engaged Learning

The Centre for Community Engaged Learning collaborates with students, staff, faculty, and community partners to work through complex community-based issues, both locally and internationally. Their programs connect students with community (non-profits, community initiatives, and K to Grade 12 schools) either as a required part of an academic course or through voluntary co-curricular opportunities like UBtheChange and the Social Impact Lab for a hands-on, immersive experience.
