How it works
The GRADLeaders program will bring together current graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and recent graduate alumni to work in groups of four to five to create a project aligned with the Ryerson Leadership Lab’s priorities of climate change, technology and youth unemployment.
Working with their team members, participants will co-create a project with the aim of making meaningful and positive change in one of the three subject matter areas before the end of the academic year. Participants will receive community-organizing training from the Ryerson Leadership Lab and leadership advising from the Graduate Leadership Institute throughout the program to help build their skills and overcome any roadblocks.
This pilot program is open to current Ryerson graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and recent graduate alumni who have graduated in the past six months.
