L.E.A.D.S. – Learning through Education and Action for ongoing Development and Service
At North-West College, our dedication goes beyond educating students for success – we are committed to giving back to our students’ communities as well. We do this through L.E.A.D.S. (Learning through Education and Action for ongoing Development and Service) program. Providing opportunities to serve and meet others’ needs creates a positive impact not only in the lives of community members, but also in the minds and hearts of NWC students, as they graduate with a spirit of compassion that will profoundly shape their approach as health care professionals. In addition to meeting community needs in practical ways, students volunteer their time, increase awareness, and raise funds through L.E.A.D.S.
