External Relations Ambassadors (ERAs) work closely with staff and faculty to support the development of relationships and community partnerships which contribute directly to the Sprott School of Business.  This is an excellent opportunity for outgoing, business development minded students to network and liaise with members of the Ottawa business community on behalf of their peers. The majority of this position’s administrative tasks will be completed on Carleton’s main campus but regular attendance at external activities and events in the City of Ottawa is encouraged and may be required.   

 Ideal candidates will be detail oriented Sprott students, actively engaged in extracurricular activities and programs on campus. Candidates should be curious about opportunities that their colleagues may be interested in pursuing in the future, excited about meeting business professionals and making new connections, and fastidious and detail oriented in the way they conduct research about the people they meet and track interactions.

 Lend your voice and student perspective to the external relations team. Create position profiles for new and potential contacts, track events and activities in the capital region which should be promoted to Sprott students, and engage with members of the Ottawa business community at events.

All students and volunteers are expected to commit 8–10 hours per week, with workload fluctuations during peak periods. Team Leads and Assistant Team Leads may have a slightly higher workload than Associate Members.

No, prior consulting experience is not required. However, we look for students with transferable skills relevant to their assigned projects, such as social media, graphic design, budgeting, research and analysis, etc.

Any Carleton University student, regardless of department or faculty, can apply to join the Sprott Social Impact Hub as either a student or a volunteer. Participation is not limited to business students. To apply as a student for course credit, eligibility is restricted to third-year students and above (including graduate students).

Leadership/Management Team: For those interested in gaining hands-on experience in management, HR, and operations. This team supports the overall function of the Hub, ensuring that projects run smoothly and that both students and partner organizations receive the necessary guidance and resources through functions such as interval reviews and general guidance.

Project Teams: As a Project Team member, you’ll act as a consultant for our nonprofit or charity partners, working directly with professionals in the sector. Your role is to support your respective organization achieve their goals by conducting research, developing strategies, and delivering other real-world solutions that create meaningful social impact.

You do not need to be enrolled for course credit. You can volunteer as a Project Team Member. Volunteers are expected to commit the same time and effort as students. It’s also important to note that students participating for course credit receive priority in selecting their preferred Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

SSIH project teams consist of three main roles: Team Lead, Assistant Team Lead, and Project Team Associates.

The Team Lead is responsible for managing the project, communicating with the nonprofit client, and ensuring deliverables are completed on time. They are also responsible for contributing to project work.

 The Assistant Team Lead supports the Team Lead by helping with project management while also contributing to the project work.

Project Team Associates focus specifically on executing project tasks such as market research, social media strategy, and other deliverables outlined in the application form.

Project meetings and work sessions are scheduled based on team availability using a Doodle poll. This ensures that meetings are set at times that work for all team members

Performance is assessed based on peer feedback, client feedback on deliverables, self-reflection assignments, and input from the instructor. There is no final exam for this course.

All students who are travelling are expected to pay a deposit of approximately $3500 by December. For travel costs related to local and international nonprofit organizations, SSIH has a FutureFunder account to help with raising money. Additionally, students can choose to organize fundraising activities, such as bake sales, to reduce financial burdens. 

Students indicate their top 3 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) preferences on their application form. Assignments are made based on these preferences to match students with an organization that aligns with their interests. While every effort is made to accommodate preferences, we cannot guarantee students their first choice.
