The University of Waterloo has received a $1M gift from The Steele Family Foundation that will be used to support co-op work terms in the charitable and non-profit sector. The funding will support students who pursue a co-op position at a Canadian registered charity or not-for-profit organization. It will be used to provide financial support for 20 students participating in the Change Makers in Co-op program each year, in addition to enhancing wrap-around supports for students. “Work terms in the charitable and non-profit sector help to build well-rounded global citizens,” said UWaterloo VP Advancement and External Relations Nenone Donaldson. “We’re committed to providing students with more of these opportunities and ensuring they are equitable and accessible.”
