Service Learning Community Internship Impact Project Homelessness Launch Event
The Service Learning Community Internship aim is to address homelessness and the affordable housing supply crisis by bringing together students, advocates and industry experts to engage in discussion to develop awareness of this complex issue and generate innovative and effective solutions.
Our focus will be on building awareness and understanding of key complex social problems. Within this focus we will strive to understand whether and where progressive change is occurring; what is working and why, and how we might have a meaningful impact on this issue together.
The project aims to enhance the awareness of the complex social issue of homelessness through a student led internship.
Facilitated by Service Learning Community Internship, industry partners and key staff will work collaboratively with students to co-design solutions through a series of Innovation Solution Sprints.
