Community service is a value that Blyth incorporates into all of our programming. Students at our local campus participate in a number of volunteer projects throughout the year, including Habitat for Humanity construction in Scarborough, representing Yorkville for the Ice Fest activities in winter, fundraising and climbing in the WWF’s CN Tower Stair Climb in Toronto and stocking shelves at the Ottawa Food Bank.
Around the world, students in our international credit programs have made crafts with kids in Egypt's Children's Cancer Hospital, prepared meals for cancer and HIV/AIDS patients in Los Angeles and have worked with Coastal Ranger crews in New Zealand. As well, community service focused trips have allowed students to build schools in Tanzania, work on environmental projects in the rainforest and help orphans, school children and the elderly in Costa Rica. Blyth's programs are continually striving towards making a difference and we believe strongly that every positive action can create a positive change in this world.
