Katimavik is happy to announce that it has signed a partnership with George Brown College in Toronto. As of 2010 academic credits will be awarded to volunteers who complete (or are in the process of completing) a six or nine month Katimavik program.

Two types of accreditation will be possible:

Volunteers who have taken part in Katimavik and plan to attend George Brown College can be exempt from certain courses upon presentation of adequate documentation proving their successful completion of the Katimavik program.

Volunteers who complete one or more courses through correspondence while they are participating in the Katimavik program will receive academic credits. These credits can be used for general electives within a program of study at George Brown College. In some cases, they may be also transferred to a program of study at another college.
