Program Overview and Partnership Invitation Document This program has been run for several years. We work with 20+ partners every term. We may not be able to respond to messages on Riipen in a timely manner. Quick summary: students take this course to develop a software application (web, mobile or desktop) for various use cases. Previous examples include mobile apps for finding travelers in a specific community and web-based application for connecting a non-profit to volunteers. If the project information is of interest, please go through the steps mentioned in the document. We will not be able to accept requests here as the proposals need to be chosen by the students in September.

Consult for Impact is an experiential learning opportunity that encourages the application of theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. Non-profit organizations and social start-ups will have the opportunity to receive pro-bono consulting services . Our business students are passionate about providing meaningful impact and want to apply their consulting skills, tools, and methodologies to advance the mandate of organizations.

A group of 15 advanced undergraduate psychology students will work with your non-profit organization on a short-term project that fulfills a current need for your organization (e.g., providing a literature review and recommendations, creating a survey, etc.).

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from the University of Toronto to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this course critically evaluate the scientific literature about health policies and “knowledge gaps” wherein a call to action recommends the scientific community to respond with further research and policy engagement. They gain skills to analyze and synthesize information from lectures, readings, media and video links, in order to examine, critique, analyze and apply their learning. This cohort will focus on the topic of food insecurity and nutrition literacy in K to 12 education in Ontario.
