Global Engagement Student Leadership

We believe students are at the core of what we do. The student leadership opportunities offered through Global Engagement allow you to share and execute your innovative ideas and support the work we do, while building your own intercultural skills and abilities.

 

World University Service of Canada - Local Committee

Volunteer with the Local Committee to support the Student Refugee Program with the World University Service of Canada (WUSC). This committee, made up of student leaders, welcomes newly arriving students who were previously living in other countries as refugees. The Local Committee helps to set up housing, as well as provide social and academic supports for the arriving students. There are WUSC Local Committees in both Waterloo and Brantford.

The Local Committee also plans fundraising and awareness campaigns to raise campus awareness about global issues such as women's empowerment, refugee girls' education, ethical purchasing, food security and health care for people living with HIV and AIDS. 

This rewarding volunteer opportunity is a great way to meet new people and make a lasting impact.
