Welcome to the Learning Centre

The Tamarack Institute is a Registered Canadian Charity dedicated to ending poverty in all its forms and skill-building for changemakers. Many of our workshops, webinars and online training courses are focused on place and community.

Our learning opportunities will equip you with skills and connections for impactful community change. Learners will explore areas like Collaboration, Collective Leadership, Community Engagement, Asset-Based Community Development, and more.

INTRODUCING: BUNDLE & SAVE

For the first time, Tamarack is offering bundle and save options for our 2025 workshops. These options have been strategically curated to provide participants with the confidence, skills and knowledge to advance their learning in complimentary themes. Check out the workshop bundle options for 2025 here!
