Ottawa Community Social Innovation Student Fund

The Ottawa Community Social Innovation Student Fund provides students in the Algonquin College’s Social Innovation Lab with the opportunity to gain work experience, and empower our communities through creativity and technological knowledge. The lab through the SLiDE (Service Learning in Design and Engineering) initiative hires teams of students at a living wage from the School of Advanced Technology and Media and Design.

Learners can use their skills and talent in their chosen field to work towards bridging the technological gap that often exists in social sector organizations. These projects allow students to take initiative in effectively supporting their communities and provide a new perspective on what can be done to further adapt to an ever-changing environment.

All funds raised are used to directly support student employment.
