About the Centre for Community Engaged Learning
We collaborate with students, staff, faculty and community partners to work through complex community-based issues.
Our programs place students in community settings (non-profits and inner city schools) either as a required part of an academic course, or through voluntary co-curricular placements like Trek and Reading Week for a hands-on, immersive experience.
We also provide resources and support to instructors, departments, and faculties, to enhance teaching and learning processes. We connect University resources to the community in ways that support lasting relationships.
Student programs
