Social Work Support
Brief info
Ethan began his journey with us as a Social Work placement student at Trent University in 2021. Going into his placement, Ethan saw how unique our programming was, how we value difference and the true focus on inclusion. Ethan also loved the outdoor aspect of Nova's Ark and how that matches his personality and energy very well. This was all confirmed during his placement when he fell in love with the work and team involved here. After graduating with his Bachelor of Social Work, he was brought on as a member of our Support Staff. Ethan now works one-on-one or in small groups with our participants, focusing on helping them grow and working towards their goals. Helping people feel welcomed and accepted for who they are is very important to Ethan. This makes him so passionate about his work here; where differences are not difficulties, they are instead valued and understood.
