Over the next few weeks, ANIDA will be back on campus at Redeemer University and Tyndale University to share our mission and connect with students in a meaningful, personal way.

Unlike traditional outreach methods, such as flyers, newsletters, or information booths, these visits aren’t just about giving presentations, but go deeper. They’re about community, connection, and collaboration.

What makes university partnerships so special is the chance for our staff to build authentic relationships with students who care deeply about making a difference. 

When we have a booth or meet students in small groups, we can answer questions, share stories from our local and global programs, and engage in genuine dialogue. 

These conversations often lead to thoughtful discussions about the change students want to create and open doors for showing the opportunities at ANIDA within volunteering, leadership training or global travel opportunities.

University partnerships are a powerful way to expand our community impact while inspiring the next generation of compassionate leaders. 

We’re especially excited to introduce Hope Builders, our new monthly subscription program designed to give students structured opportunities to serve, lead, and create lasting change. 

For as little as $5 a month, students can be part of a program that supports real-life impact in communities around the globe..

As we step onto these campuses, we look forward to meeting students, sharing stories, and building lasting partnerships.
