Get involved! Community placements for Forestry students
Looking to get involved this year?
The combination of a weekly Trek placement with a non-profit organization or school, and our guided learning program can enable you to learn more about community issues, apply your academics in the real world, build lasting connections, and make a difference. There’s over 20 different placements to match your interests, schedule, and career goals!
Examples:
- Super Science Club at Science World – deliver science programs and activities for students grades 1-7
- The Vancouver Homework Club provides free tutoring on a wide range of subjects to students at Britannia Secondary. It also provides a place for students to connect with friends and supportive adults, and to receive mentoring in life skills, careers, and post-secondary educational opportunities.
