July 14, 2010 - The Trent Centre for Community-Based Education (TCCBE) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Housing Services and the Residence Life Coordinator at Trent University that will greatly expand our Community-Service Learning Program and the volunteer capacity in Peterborough City and County.

If your organization, or organizations you know, are looking for volunteers throughout the academic year to support your programs, services, or events, please feel free to contact TCCBE for more information on how to get involved, or fill out a Community- Service Learning project proposal form.

June 9, 2010 - Peterborough and the Kawarthas are about to get a boost for projects related to cultural/heritage tourism, arts education, heritage preservation and archaeology, cultural diversity and aboriginal engagement. Over the next two months, the Trent Centre for Community-Based Education (TCCBE) and the Kawartha Heritage Conservancy (KHC) are inviting local organizations to propose community-inspired projects in these priority areas. In turn, the TCCBE and KHC will try to match and support projects with Trent University students and faculty.

Funded by the Ontario Ministry of Culture’s Cultural Strategic Investment Fund (CSIF), this grant is an investment by the Government of Ontario to support organizations in building a strong and stable cultural sector by contributing to a prosperous creative economy and vibrant, liveable communities.

In an effort to experiment with Web 2.0, the Canadian Alliance for Community Service-Learning has launched a Community Service-Learning (CSL) Canada YouTube Channel.  A quick search of CSL related videos from Canadian sources created a list of about 15 videos created at institutions from coast to coast. Click here to watch the channel! 

If you have CSL videos about your projects or about CSL in general, CACSL will be happy to link to them either through YouTube, Facebook,  Twitter, or all three.
