Overview:

Overview:

This fall, high school students have the rare opportunity to engage directly with university professors behind one of Canada’s most timely and impactful new educational initiatives: the Homelessness Curriculum - a first-of-its-kind course being launched at post-secondary institutions across the country.
In this SHSM-exclusive experience, students in the Justice, Arts & Culture, Non-Profit, and Business sectors will step into the university classroom of tomorrow. Hosted in partnership with Wilfrid Laurier University (Brantford campus), York University, and the University of Guelph, this experience invites students to think critically, work collaboratively, and design human-centered solutions to one of Canada's most pressing social issues: homelessness.
