Memorial's Community Hubs Initiative helps create shared, community-run spaces in towns across Newfoundland and Labrador that foster opportunties for community learning, collaboration and capacity building. 

The Hubs are located in primarily rural areas across the island and in Labrador. These hubs are community spaces where people can access the Internet, technology, and a place to work, study, or collaborate. By working with partners (community groups, provincial organizations, governments, educational institutions, etc.) that already operate buildings in communities, the Community Hubs program is able to provide financial support for technology, Internet access, other equipment, and/or programming support to increase access and opportunity within existing spaces.

Each Community Hub looks a little different, because each community has its own culture and personality, as well as its own needs and challenges. We collaborate with communities in existing structures to increase access and capacity, working with each successful applicant to co-design the space and determine what the support will entail.

There are currently 15 Community Hubs across Newfoundland and Labrador.

Have programming ideas? Check out the new Community Hubs Programming Fund aimed at supporting faculty, students and staff develop programs, workshops and other initiatives to deliver through the Hubs.
