Whether you are looking for a one time project or something that spans the length of the term, there are a variety of opportunities available to you and your students. Please contact us if you have additional resources that you think would be useful for your fellow colleagues, or if you need further support accessing any of the resources below at vse.career@ubc.ca, or stop by our offices in rooms 234-8 in the Iona building.
Centre for Community Engaged Learning
The Centre for Community Engaged Learning collaborates with students, staff, faculty, and community partners to work through complex community-based issues, both locally and internationally.
Their programs place students in community settings (non-profits and inner city schools) either as a required part of an academic course, or through voluntary co-curricular placements like Trek and Reading Week for a hands-on, immersive experience. They also provide resources and support to instructors, departments, and faculties, to enhance teaching and learning processes. We connect University resources to the community in ways that support lasting relationships.
Centre for Student Involvement and Careers
The Centre for Student Involvement and Careers is a hub that connects students to experiences, resources, and people that will help them achieve their personal and career goals.
