Andre Luiz Santos Carvalho, 2020 Graduate

As a Newcomer and International Student, I arrived in Canada excited and eager to be victorious in my new path. However, every new experience comes with insecurities and challenges. The Pre-Community Service program at George Brown College provided me with tools to develop my skills and the confidence to pursue my educational and professional goals. I received significant support from my professors, my classmates and the services available by the institution.

Roshanak Pour, 2016 Graduate

As a graduate of the Pre Community Services Program, I earned both the knowledge and confidence to thoughtfully use a variety of quantitative approaches in my career. Pre- Community program's faculty assisted me to figure out my academic pathway. I can see the positive impacts of this program in my development and improvement throughout my journey of graduating from the Social Service Worker program at GBC to getting my Bachelor of Art in Psychology At York University and even now as a student who is studying the Master of Psychology program.

Ghofran Alyass, 2015 Graduate

As a GBC graduate, I am privileged in many ways, one of which I happen to be a graduate of the Pre-community Services Program that was where my success started and continues to grow. Thanks to the support of the faculty in Pre-Community, I am now not only a university graduate with an undergraduate degree in Critical Disability Studies from Ryerson University, but I am about to pursue my Masters in Social Justice Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. My experience in the Pre-Community Services and my professors have made me the confident learner that I am today as I continue to pursue my love of learning.
