Second-year Community Development Work students are ready to virtually support community change activities. As a “professional in training”, our students are ready to help out in various ways, developing their skills, knowledge, and attitudes that are necessary to enter the field as a Community Development Work practitioner. We are looking for placement sites where students can apply in practice the concepts and theories learned in the classroom. The students have learned in the classroom about many aspects of Community Development Work, including asset mapping, community outreach and engagement, community-based research, and group facilitation. Please note that all of our students will have their Vulnerable Sector Screening completed.

The students are available for 224 hours of unpaid, for-credit work experience beginning in Septemeber, 2020.

Students have to create a learning contract as part of their field placement course, that outlines their specific deliverables, that is agreed upon by the agency. Students need to complete 224 hours for their Field Placement course.
