Community Engaged Learning will be running two program opportunities through the summer!

PACA: Support Circle

Wednesdays, June 5 to August 28, 6pm

PACA: Support Circle provides wrap-around supports for Lived Experience Educators who volunteer with Poverty Awareness & Community Action, including education and training, individual advocacy support, and social advocacy work.

Joining the PACA: Support Circle is an opportunity to learn how to work in good ways with low-income communities. Support Circle volunteers receive poverty awareness education and peer advocacy training, so that they can appropriately develop resources, provide advocacy support, and work with people who face poverty and other intersecting oppressions.

Summer Term programming will begin with a three-hour in-person program orientation on Wednesday, June 5 from 6-9 p.m. After the orientation, PACA meets online weekly on Wednesdays from 6-7 p.m. We will also have three additional in-person meetings on July 3, July 31, and August 28 that will run from 6-9 p.m. The longer meetings give us the chance to spend time together and learn more complex things!

This program is free and open to UM students and members of the wider community who want to learn how to work in good ways with low-income communities. UM students who successfully complete the program will receive recognition for Community Engaged Learning on their Experience Record.

Apply by June 1!

Student Affairs – Leaders in cultivating exceptional student experiences!

My home city, Winnipeg, sits on the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, and Dakota peoples and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. I am grateful to live and work on Treaty One Territory, and to have access to water from Shoal Lake #40 First Nation and hydroelectricity generated on the lands of many Indigenous communities in Northern Manitoba. As a descendant of refugees and immigrants who settled on Indigenous lands, I commit to challenging anti-Indigenous racism and supporting the work and leadership of Indigenous communities.
