Capacity Development and Extension is a unique program in Canada that develops the core competencies of students for facilitating social and environmental change. Our program focuses on processes of learning, advocacy, leadership, communication and capacity development for rural/remote and small communities in Canada and around the world. Our "students without borders" engage with society through service learning projects during their course work, and through applied research and a range of professional development activities.
