Learning in Community
Riipen Student Projects
We honour the students who brought curiosity, skill, and new perspectives to critical issues affecting the communities UGTS serves.
Collaboration with purpose
Student ideas that help community work grow.
Through Riipen collaborations, UGTS has had the distinct honour of working with students from universities and colleges across Canada and internationally.
Their projects opened our eyes to new perspectives on racism, discrimination, women’s strength, nutrition, and food insecurity. This page preserves and celebrates those contributions.
