NBCC St. Andrews Campus Celebrates Volunteerism in Charlotte County Schools

​On October 15, 2014, NBCC launched the Robertson Institute for Community Leadership, a flagship initiative of  their strategic plan that brings to life NBCC’s vision of “transforming lives and communities.”  For this inaugural event, NBCC students, staff, board members and alumni embarked on community service work.  The St. Amdrews campus specifically focused their  community service on the theme “Feed the Need for Charlotte County” in support of their community food banks.  They collectively raised the equivalent of 9000 pounds of food.

 
NBCC values the relationships built with our schools over the past two years, and they feel that it is important to foster those relationships for the benefit of their  students and their communities.  Some of the recent activities that NBCC and our  St. Stephen Ed. Centre schools have collaborated on together are:
 
·        Aquaculture Technician Program, Environmental Science class project with Fundy High School
·        Carpentry Program, Open Classroom project with St. Stephen Middle School
·        Practical Nurse Program, Wellness Fair project with St. George Elementary School
·        IT: Network Support Program, worked with Technology Club at St. Stephen High School
·        IT: Network Support Program, worked with IT Foundations Class at Fundy High School
·        Culinary Arts Program, culinary class project with St. Stephen Middle School
·        Practical Nurse Programs, volunteered with Breakfast Programs at Pennfield, Black’s Harbour, St. George, Back Bay, St. Stephen, Milltown Elementary Schools
·        Office Administration Program, Office Administration Symposium delivered for student participants from Sir James Dunn Academy, St. Stephen High School, and Fundy High
 
NBCC recognizes the importance of volunteerism and community service, and allows employees two days per year for such initiatives.
