Project Change

Project Change is a year-long provincial competition enabling BC tourism students to become leaders and agents for positive change in the world.

Working individually or in groups (max. 6), students identify a community, then create and develop an effective social or environmental stewardship project. There are only three guidelines:

The community has to contain at least 20 people.
The impacts must be specific & measurable.
The results must be reported in an effective manner.
