CO-Op and Student Placements

Each year LDA receives numerous requests for student placements. We are limited in our ability to provide co-op or volunteer opportunities for our students due to our small size and the demands of our work.

Generally we limit our work with students to those in senior levels of disciplines relating to our fields of expertise, such as education, social work and non-profit studies. Additionally, we strongly consider whether the placement will be mutually beneficial to LDA and the professional development of the student involved.

High school students are welcome to apply for any of our published volunteer opportunities to complete their 40 hours of community service.

Contact Carla at 905-272-4100 or 905-791-4100 for more details on student placement opportunities.
