Working Group Funding

 

Working Groups are independent collectives of U of A students and community members committed to supporting community well-being, social justice and the public good in an ongoing way. APIRG provides Working Groups funding and resources, while respecting the group’s autonomy.

In a nutshell, APIRG Working Groups:

  • Maintain a membership that includes U of A undergrad students and hold regular, accessible meetings and/or events;
  • Have long-term goals with activities and membership that continue beyond the current academic year;
  • Have regular communication with APIRG; and
  • Submit year-end reports and maintain financial accountability to the group and to APIRG.
