As the official sport and recreation education partner of Community Researchers (CR), the Centre for Sport Capacity is proud to foster our mutual desire with CR to establish a vibrant cooperative collaboration. Together we connect students with potential research opportunities for nonprofit sport and recreation organizations.
Brock University students, supervised by CSC Members, work alongside CR experts and sport and recreation leaders to develop and execute complimentary research projects that provide insightful evidence-based reports to help them build capacity in their organizations. Students gain unique experience outside of the classroom while volunteering or formally integrating their work into a course credit. No matter how students get involved with the CSC, it is a valuable learning experience.
The Centre for Sport Capacity is proud to showcase the students who have collaborated with CR. The Community improvement research reports are outlined below.
