community development organizational development collaboration program design facilitationAre you looking to provide additional or expanded services to your clients, or work on special projects but don't have adequate resources or time to do so?
Our students have successfully completed a comprehensive range of courses, cultivating skills around understanding organizations and communities and facilitating interventions in small group settings. As facilitators, they will be able to assess the situation, identify needs and develop new programs or initiatives, and help your organization build effective teams.
Their well developed interpersonal and communication skills will most likely be assets to your business or community environment.
The deliverables will be agreed upon with the organization, as part of a contract with the students.
Participating organizations can expect:
- A needs assessment;
- 2 to 5 sessions facilitated by the group of students (depending on the needs)
- A report on the work carried out

Project Examples

- An organization development intervention (ex: strategy session, strategic planning, team development, etc.);
- A series of community conversations to explore a topic or a question of interest (ex: inclusion, community, resilience, sustainability, etc.)
