Our 2012-2013 fellows were organized into eight pods that included youth fellows, social work fellows and alum fellows. Pods met once per week throughout the academic school year to plan, act, reflect, evaluate, and celebrate their social action project.

Making NOISE for Social Change
The NOISE fellows learned about community-based research and used these skills to engage in a reflective, hands-on social action project in the Jane/Finch community to address one of six issue areas outlined in Toronto’s Vital Signs Report – Learning; Arts and Culture; Environment; Safety; Gap Between Rich and Poor; and Leadership, Civic Engagement, and Belonging.
Pods presented the lessons from their social action projects at the Spring Festival of Learning – NOISE’s end- of-year celebration in late April that showcases the lessons learned from the social action projects.
