CU Smile

What: CU Smile is a group that was founded as a Carleton University club back in 2016. The club sought to help with issues such as homelessness, youth mental health, education, and much more. Some of their achievements over the past 5 years include: delivering warm meals and clothes to those in need, collaborating with organizations such as Shepherds of Good Hope to help the most vulnerable during Covid-19, and providing mental health support and help to students during strenuous exam seasons.

In their words: “I believe we have a very ambitious group and to us, success is ending homelessness before the Calendar flips to 2022. We have a series of initiatives over the next 12 months that will help us end homelessness in Ottawa, which is the ultimate goal.”
