- W2186752275 abstract "This paper analyses research findings from a SSHRC (CURA) funded pilot project entitled ‘Bridging the Solitudes’ which investigates the post-secondary school experiences of marginalised youth, many of whom are recent immigrants to Canada, attending Seneca College and York University. The central aim of the Bridging project was to recruit vulnerable youth to post-secondary education and assist with their transition to college and university by offering funding and other supports as they progressed through their academic programs. A second objective was to facilitate the students’ transition to the labour market by offering them a paid work placement at a non-profit organization (community-based organization or union) where social justice goals such as advocating on behalf of workers and offering supports to under serviced and disadvantaged communities within the city of Toronto were central aims of the organization. This paper explores the benefits of this work placement program, not only for the Bridging students, but also for the organizations where they were placed. An analysis of interviews conducted during the summer of 2004 with individuals who directly supervised the Bridging students indicates that many placement supervisors highly valued the marginalised perspective and identity of the Bridging students. The students’ marginal viewpoint was seen by the supervisors as a major factor in their ability to understand social justice issues which facilitated their connection to the community members or clientele, and furthered their participation and contributions to the community-based organization or union. A key finding of this Bridging research is that non-profit organizations place an enormous value on students’ commitment to an alternative world view, of promoting equality for vulnerable groups in society, and of recognizing the importance of collective organization for redressing fundamental social and economic inequalities in society." @default.
