Volunteering either as part of a course or on your own helps foster social participation and responsibility. It鈥檚 also the perfect opportunity to strengthen community ties, bring about positive social change and form solid partnerships. Many volunteer opportunities are available, on campus, around Ottawa or abroad.
The CSL program involves credited learning experiences as part of a course. If CSL is available for your class, you can take part in structured volunteer activities that meet a community need. Then, you can engage in critical reflection on what you鈥檝e learned, to increase your understanding of the class material and your field of study.
