Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead "In the rush for justice it is important not to lose sight of principles the country holds dear." - Kofi Annan "In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same."- Albert Einstein "What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?" - Henry David Thoreau "For the times, they are a changin'." -Bob Dylan "If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room." - Anita Koddick

CCI Training Program

Certificate in Community Training Program: a program meant to train students, community members, social entrepreneurs, and activists to work effectively in the not for profit sector and apply creative problem solving techniques to their communities. Come to our fall workshops on topics like the arts and advocacy, anti-oppression training, and ecologically sustainable innovation. Presented by the Laurier Students’ Public Interest Research Group.


Requirements:

A) 30 hours of training sessions. These hours are accumulated by attending CCI Workshops, available each week on campus at Wilfrid Laurier. The workshops vary in time from 1 1/2 – 3 hours, and include a broad variety of topics regarding anti-oppression, creativity and social change.

B) 20 hours of community service. These hours are gained by community involvement outside of the Laurier community. This can take a number of different forms, and LSPIRG is happy to help you determine an effective way to utilize your community service hours.

Any questions regarding the program can be directed to Erin, at erin@lspirg.ca.
