Learner goals and capabilities

Would you like to benefit from the volunteer support of 3rd year students from the Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies at the University of Ottawa (Canada)? Do you lack the time or human resources to work on projects or programs related to Women's rights, Gender Equality or LGBTQ+? Students can offer you 30 hours of virtual volunteer support between mid-September and early December 2020. uOttawa has a program titled Community Service Learning (CSL). CSL is an academic program and form of experiential learning where students contribute to their community by participating in professor-approved community service placements related to course learning objectives and then produce corresponding reflective assignments. You have the opportunity to tap into a pool of dedicated students to expand your organization's resources and capacity!
