2-year, Ontario College Diploma Program

Aboriginal Community Advocacy Program

Do you want to be a positive force in the developement of communities and community relations? At the centre of the Aboriginal Community Advocacy Program is the desire to work with and for communities whether urban or on reserve. Whether in social services, justice or governance, you will be sought after for your expertise in Aboriginal Canadian relations and your solid foundation of advocacy and community development skills. The “Aboriginal Community Advocacy Program” is a unique program that provides you with the opportunity to become an agent of change in your community.

As an Advocate you are committed to working with Aboriginal peoples in the promotion of social justice, self determination and self government. Your work requires a solid foundation in the  legal, political and social history of Aboriginal peoples in Canada in order to deliver services and design programs which meet the needs of the communities and individuals.

  You understand the need for careful research, analysis and strategic action in the promotion of proactive and healthy change.  An interest in consultation, mediation and finding common ground are your foundations for thoughtful problem solving and community action.

At the heart of your career direction are community development,public education, restorative justice, political, legal or social advocacy, that require you to understand Aboriginal-Canadian relations and work effectively to advocate at the local, regional or national level.
