QTPOC KW is a student-run club that provides the space for individuals at the intersection of 2SLGBTQ+ and racialized (Black, Indigenous, POC) identities to play freely and build community. We focus on hosting community socials, panels, and other events that uplift our intersectional identities.

Right To Play is an international non-profit organization that empowers vulnerable children to overcome the effects of war, poverty, and disease around the world through play.

The University of Waterloo's chapter will work to fundraise money for the organization. We fundraise by hosting events throughout the year on campus! The events we host are a fun way to raise money for the organization and a great way for UW students to get active.

SOCH Mental Health UW is a chapter of the SOCH Mental Health organization. In Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu, the word SOCH means "to think" or "a thought". The founders of the SOCH Mental Health Organization brought this word to represent their mission as they believe to combat the stigma around mental health, we must change the way our community "thinks" about mental health. The mission of UW SOCH is to empower the community members of our university environment to recognize and accept mental health as an essential part of their well through education, prevention, and building resilience. SOCH will work to bring an open space for mental health conversations in both virtual and in-person settings. With the emphasis on mental health stigma in the South Asian community, SOCH looks forward to supporting the need for culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health conversations across the university campus. SOCH provides workshops rooted in mental health promotion.

Students Helping Seniors is a club that seeks to support local seniors by conducting fundraising events and providing volunteer service to local nursing homes and retirement residences. Our club will be working with various nursing homes in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. Some club activities include doing deliveries, writing birthday/holiday cards, making PPE (personal protective equipment) and distributing it, paying in-person visits, and hosting recreational events for the residents and staff.

Students Supporting Opioid Stewardship is a club that is dedicated to spreading awareness among the community and student population on the opioid crisis. Our mission is to de-stigmatize the public perception of those who may suffer from an opioid addiction, education the community on how to identify signs of an overdose, and improve public knowledge of attaining the overdose antidote, naloxone.

Tech+ UW's mission is to cultivate a more inclusive and diverse tech community at UWaterloo by making resources more accessible to the community and students in need. We connect UWaterloo students with experienced and passionate individuals from different domains in tech, and foster this community through events that bring everyone together.

Our mission is to inspire positivity and resilience to empower a healthy mindset. The Bhakti Yoga Club is for open-minded students, all ages, who like to view issues by examining “the bigger picture”. It is about introducing spirituality to students from all different faiths and ethnic backgrounds. More specifically, tangible solutions based in ancient cultures to material problems. Anyone with an interest or curiosity in spiritual discourse, yoga and meditation, self-help, or simply a desire to try something new is welcome to any of our sessions.
The university community like University of Guelph, McMaster University and University of Toronto have clubs similar to this promoting Vedic principles and philosophies. With an increasingly influential “next generation” in these ever-growing communities, we also thought it was about time to bring the young people from these organizations together to discuss the ideas we were brought up with and celebrate the unity in our diversities in an academic setting. Want to challenge a narrative you were taught? We probably do too!
You don’t need prior experience with any of these ideas to join our club. Bring your own opinions, approaches to life and concerns and let’s learn from each other! Our goal is to create a network of like-minded deep thinkers on campus through chill discussions, free workshops, musical meditation and more.
