Collaborative agreements
Collaborative agreements allow Lethbridge College students to pursue specialized training and education. We currently hold an agreement with:
By volunteering abroad, you can have a chance to explore various career opportunities, gain valuable experience and broaden your sense of the world. The gift of your time – whether short term or long – creates a vibrant, connected and healthy community.
Volunteering in cross-cultural capacities can lead to development of cultural competency and increase your knowledge of the world around you. And the impact that you leave provides a positive experience for those encountering Canadian culture for the first time.
We encourage students, staff and faculty to consider gifting their time for a cause or organization they are passionate about.
