Community Outreach

Breaking down barriers

The Community Outreach Program delivers activities and support services that supports students in the Adult Education program with their transition to school and with developing strategies to overcome barriers that challenge engagement, retention and success. Outreach Workers are focused on developing relationships with students and their home communities to create bridges to school and to developing support networks that promote a positive learning experience.

Outreach Workers will help students address a variety of barriers to school completion

Promoting Academic Success

Outreach Workers are available, in person or virtually, to support students on-campus as well as in their home communities. Their role is to assess students’ needs and help secure appropriate referrals within their home or school community in a timely manner. As part of the Learner Experience Team, Outreach Workers support the intake and registration process for admission to Adult Education. Outreach workers are instrumental in supporting students with the development of academic and career plans that will act as a guide throughout the program year. They also facilitate information sessions and workshops that help applicants with the transition to school.
