Student goals and capabilities

Students from Cambrian College are ready to explore their passions and leverage their unique gifts to enact positive changes in society. They will do so by engaging in service-learning opportunities through their projects.

Learners will set strategic goals and establish personalized learning objectives related to developing civic engagement skills, interests, and community connections. With support, students will connect with community organizations and engage in volunteer placement and/or project experiences (in-person or virtual).

Throughout the project, learners will reflect on and share their experiences with others in order to further explore the significance of service-learning and to collectively celebrate their good work.
