This course includes combined class and service-learning components that place the enrolled student in a mentoring position with students in a local school. Enrolled students will learn about the social, economic and political challenges facing residents in one of the city’s priority neighbourhoods and what role education can play in alleviating these challenges. In doing so, students will develop a better sense of their role as community citizens as well as a better understanding of their own learning skills through their mentorship of younger students. |
