SWASP CSC Information

With assistance of a Community Youth Network Special Projects Grant, Youth Are Volunteering, a CSC-led project in partnership with Waypoints, aimed to build a model for engagement of resilient youth in volunteerism. The project added a new component to Waypoints pre-employment programs for youth, and built on CSC’s workshop offerings for youth.

Research data can be a powerful tool for social change. Over the years CSC’s landmark research has helped shape the face of public policy in Newfoundland and Labrador.
