The Rural Outreach Program was launched in 2019, operating out of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Memorial University. The program aims to support rural communities around the province at no cost, many of which are managed by volunteer teams, town councillors, Local Service District Committees, or community-based non-profit social enterprises. By connecting engineering students with rural communities, the Rural Outreach Project looks to create collaborative partnerships, supporting community ideas with practical solutions. These initiatives not only target community needs, but also assist in preserving the province’s cultural heritage.
