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.
