Service Learning

Community Partners

Community involvement is essential to Service Learning.  Service Learning students undertake service projects and activities in partnership with local not-for-profit organizations and schools.  Projects and activities are selected based on the priorities of our community partners.  We also take into consideration the ‘fit’ with the academic term, course content, and student capacity.

Community partners tell us that there are many benefits to getting involved with Service Learning.  It provides an ongoing link with Ryerson, access to new ideas and energy, fosters public engagement in issues important to the agency, and provides a way to contribute to the education and training of future workers.

The Faculty of Arts is interested in developing partnerships with schools and community agencies in the Greater Toronto Area.  Please contact us with your ideas, comments and suggestions.
