Remote Community Based Learning Fund Details

Remote Community Based Learning Fund

From planning a sustainable forest to researching fencing for pigs: The Remote Community Based Learning Fund provides students with the opportunity to work with organizations in remote communities and tackle complex challenges.

The Remote Community Based Learning Fund (RCBLF) is a joint initiative of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and the Centre for Community Engaged Learning. The RCBLF enables students to work with organizations in remote communities by covering workshop fees, travel and accommodation costs and much more.
Through remote community based experiential learning (CBEL) experiences, students gain discipline-specific knowledge and skills and learn about community priorities outside of urban centres, while testing their own assumptions and developing teamwork and communication skills.

If you’re a UBC faculty member interested in creating a remote CBEL opportunity for your students, we encourage you to apply. Funding is intended to support collaboration between UBC students and organizations located in BC communities outside of the Lower Mainland.
