Community on Campus


Our Focus

For over 20 years Community Living Mississauga and the University of Toronto Mississauga have worked together to provide a University experience for people from the community who have an intellectual disability. Community on Campus participants and UTM student volunteers participate in various social activities on campus and benefit from working together.

 

Program Status Update

The in-person Community on Campus program for Winter 2023 will return early February at our new office location in Maanjiwe nendamowinan, MN2131. In the meantime, there may be virtual opportunities for UTM student volunteers with Community Living Mississauga which may be posted to the UTM Career Centre CLNx website
