Projects
Sometimes WPIRG’s work doesn’t exactly fit into the “Action Group” model. Sometimes a few volunteers, the Board of Directors, or staff, make a project a priority and/or we receive external funding to carry-out the work. Click on the titles “Current Projects” and “Past Projects” on the left-hand side of this window to learn more!
Local artists rock the crowds at WPIRG's Car Free Day in 2006, which is an annual project aimed at supporting sustainable transportation on campus and in Waterloo Region.
If you are interested in starting a project, submit a request to staff. Fill in this WPIRG Proposal Form , and submit it to the Coordinator of Projects and Organizational Development. In your proposal you should cover off the who, what, why, when, where, and how. You should discuss how your project fits in with our mission (see wpirg.org) and why WPIRG’s participation is appropriate (i.e. the project addresses a need that is not being met by anyone or any other group).
