Statement of Disclosure of Compensation

The Nova Scotia International Student Program, in partnership with the Centre for Spanish and Mayan Studies of the University of Campeche in Mexico, proudly brings this exciting opportunity to learn a new language and develop leadership skills in an international setting.

Through the Nova Scotia International Student Program (NSISP), 21 students received scholarships to attend a leadership camp in Mexico. These students displayed outstanding leadership skills in their school and community and were selected through an application process, written essay, principal and teacher recommendations, academic achievement and community involvement.

The Nova Scotia - Campeche International Leadership Camp (NSCILC) is held in Campeche, Mexico for two weeks each March. Canadian students are matched with Mexican students, who become their host families and leadership partners. Our students have the opportunity to experience the richness of Spanish language and culture by living with a Mexican family for two weeks.

Campeche is a UNESCO World Heritage city and offers many cultural sites to visit and explore. Each day the students study at a local university and take advantage of daily language classes, a rich leadership curriculum, teambuilding activities and social justice projects. Students participate fully in every aspect of the camp and work with underprivileged children and young adults through their social action project.

Students have participated in projects designed to improve the quality of life in a local orphanage and an athletic camp for under privileged children. This year’s students participated in a variety of activities to raise money, collect toiletries, books and other supplies to support the local Mexican children and young adults through their 2012 social action project.

Four students from three local high schools were participants in this year’s camp.

The Jennifer Keeping AccessAbility Centre is always looking for qualified BEd tutors to provide one-on-one tutoring in a variety of content areas or disciplines. The demand for tutors in specific subjects will depend on students’ needs each semester.  When a request for a tutor is made, the tutor database is checked to verify whether there is a match. If we cannot find a match, an advertisement will be placed with the department concerned.
