Department | Community Development & Outreach |
Additional Notes | The work of the Community Development and Outreach Department (CDO) is an important way that Capilano University reaches out to those not served by campus-based programs, those who are often socially excluded in many parts of our community. Over the years we have developed expertise in our approach and are viewed as leaders in creating meaningful social change through educational access. CDO learners are newcomers to Canada, low-income residents, parents, seniors, workers in entry level jobs, Indigenous people both on-reserve and off-reserve, and people looking to make a positive change in their lives. CDO learners live in communities across our catchment area in urban areas, inner cities, small towns, and remote villages. We support learning through upgrading opportunities, language development, student success strategies, community leadership, digital literacy, and volunteerism. We are successful in reaching such a diverse group of learners because we: • engage learners as partners in the learning process and adopt a learner-centred approach to the development of literacy and essential skills • build partnerships with communities to provide a continuum of learner supports • provide learning opportunities where learners naturally gather – in community centres, Neighbourhood Houses and Friendship Centres, in workplaces, in health centres, and in local libraries • build on learner and community creativity by providing unique, interesting and meaningful learning opportunities linked to real life issues • seek ways to decolonize our practices and indigenize our approaches and curricula To learn more about the work of our department, look for Community Development & Outreach here: https://www.capilanou.ca/about-capu/get-to-know-us/our-values/ All successful candidates will have the following, as well as the specific skills and experience needed for the position described in “What You’ll Do” below: • Belief that all learners can be successful • Experience working in Community Development using an empowerment approach • Experience working with community partners • Strong facilitation and group process skills • A commitment to participant capacity-building • Strong program management and project development skills, including but not limited to:
