Thriving in Action

Jan 28, 2026

Looking to improve your outlook and improve your results as a student? Register today for Thriving in Action, an 11-week extracurricular program designed to help you reach your goals.

Thriving in Action is a program that will help you learn to thrive in both your academic and personal life. In this group session, students will meet weekly to learn key skills to increase motivation, optimism and resilience. They will also be introduced to learning strategies that will improve their time management and study skills.

Students can earn a Letter of Participation for any hours attended. Thriving in Action may also meet the requirement of some courses requiring leadership hours – talk to your professor today to see if this is a good fit for you!

It’s not too late to turn things around, and it’s never too late to learn how to flourish!

Open to all Algonquin College Students. Space for the in-person session is limited.
