HUMBER COLLEGE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP FUND - REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS NOW OPEN!

Is there a community project that your School or Department is interested in developing with a local community organization? Humber College Schools/Departments are invited to develop and submit proposals that can benefit local children, youth, Aboriginal Peoples and newcomers. If you have identified a need in the community, that your school or department has expertise in addressing, you can submit a proposal for funding through this initiative. Assistance is provided to develop your project concept and connect you with a relevant community agency (if you do not have one) to support you in the writing of your proposal.

The focus of your project concept should be to contribute, in some manner, to increased knowledge/training, exposure and/or access to post-secondary educational possibilities for the target groups listed above. These might include pathways into education, training and/or employment and/or building the organizational capacity of
community agencies who share this same focus. Humber student participation in projects is encouraged as this is an opportunity for them to build their co-curricular record. Their involvement would be an opportunity to deepen and apply theoretical knowledge. However it cannot be tied to grades for their academic program. Students could, for example, be involved as a mentor, volunteer or in a paid position.

E-mail: lynn.vanlieshout@humber.ca to receive funding applications & guidelines, and to discuss possible funding ideas, links to community partners and to refine concepts
