Over the past few months, CFICE’s Community-Campus Engagement (CCE) Brokering (Ottawa) working group has been surveying the Ottawa environmental landscape as part of their efforts to develop an online database (and associated app) of community-campus engagement (CCE) opportunities in the environmental sector.

These opportunities range from student volunteer placements in community organizations to course-based research projects and beyond. The goal is to ensure these opportunities are easily searchable in a central database.

The working group outlines their database in their presentation “Pathways to Collaborating in the Environmental Sector with PostSecondary Institutions”.

Find out more about how the database works and what needs it fulfills by clicking on the images below to download PDF versions of the presentation slides.
