Community Engaged Learning Starts With You
Community Engaged Learning (CEL) partners with community organizations and leaders to address pressing societal challenges. Our commitment lies in fostering impactful, reciprocal, and sustainable partnerships.
We collaborate with you to align our program learning outcomes with your organization's objectives, ensuring a mutually advantageous relationship, while building capacity.
When Western students step outside of the classroom and engage with your organization, expect them to bring fresh perspectives, enthusiasm, and valuable insights. They approach complex problems with creativity, shed light on critical issues, and infuse projects with hope and optimism. By tapping into this new talent pool, you have the opportunity to mentor and shape the next generation of community leaders.

Connecting our students with your future

Idealistic and open, they will work hand-in-hand with you on your defined needs. Collaborating with the next generation of leaders, innovators, and Mustangs, your organization will benefit from the finest talent pool that London, and the world, has to offer.
