Could a special project assist your community agency to meet its goals in building healthy communities? Explore the dynamic opportunities becoming available through the Douglas College Centre for Health and Community Partnerships. Pair your agency's needs with our service learning and research expertise!
How it works: True collaboration
Supported by Douglas College students and/or faculty, we work with community partners like you in activities promoting community health. In one case, Douglas students and faculty are working with Lower Mainland Meals on Wheels agencies to plan for future service delivery. The project includes data collection, forums with service providers and collaborative planning sessions. The College, with grant funding, provides resources to carry out the project and the community partners provide the connections and content knowledge. The outcome will be a coordinated Lower Mainland plan that meets the changing food service needs of at-home seniors.
The Douglas College team
