Experiential Training

Community Based Research

Centre faculty are actively involved with the Trent Community Research Centre (TCRC), an independent facilitator of community-based research. With the TCRC acting as intermediary, Centre members regularly supervise students who earn course credit working on aging related projects in collaboration with local governments and community organizations. For example, Trent students contributed eight background reports that were then synthesized into Peterborough Council on Aging’s Age-friendly plan.
