Overview
Take a step beyond the classroom and explore the world of experiential learning through impactful work with community partners.
The Sprott Social Impact Hub is committed to fostering meaningful connections with charities, non-profits, and other social-impact focused initiatives. Through these collaborations, students gain real-world experiences that enhance personal development and contribute to societal good, spanning from humanitarian/international development efforts to arts, music, and other cultural endeavors.
The Background
This year, our students are engaged in impactful experiential learning projects with several nonprofit organizations, each addressing critical social issues aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From enhancing food security for vulnerable communities to advancing global health equity, supporting immigrant integration, and creating sustainable recreational opportunities for youth, these partnerships embody a commitment to meaningful change. By collaborating with and supporting NGOs like Nutrition Blocs, Soleterre, Immigrants Can, and Christie Lake Kids, our students are not only developing essential skills but also contributing to vital missions that foster resilience, inclusivity, and well-being. Your support will enable these future leaders to drive positive transformation and make a lasting difference in the lives of those who need it most.
The Rollout
At the Sprott Social Impact Hub, we’re dedicated to driving positive change through project-based service learning and community engagement. Our collaborations with global partners empower students to enact change through innovative projects addressing real-world challenges.
Empowering Student Experiences: Your contribution will directly support the logistical expenses of an intensive field trip working with clients onsite, where students will work closely with our NGO partner(s). From transportation and accommodations to meals, every aspect of their journey is essential for their hands-on learning experience. By covering these on-the-ground costs, you’re enabling students to fully immerse themselves in the project and maximize their impact.
Fueling Innovation: In addition to supporting the field trip, your generosity will also make possible the development necessary to bring our innovations to fruition. These critical resources are the driving force behind our efforts to create tangible solutions to social challenges.
The Impact
Creating Lasting Change: By investing in these projects, you’re not only supporting student growth but also fostering lasting benefits for our partner communities. From empowering local artisans to addressing social inequalities, your support aligns with Carleton University’s commitment to community engagement and social responsibility.
