Edwina Fernandes has raised awareness of the barriers to learning that many face in the Scarborough community. Since 2003, she has volunteered with Frontier College @ U of T Scarborough to bring learning and literacy to marginalized communities. The sociology specialist has also worked hard to expand the opportunities for students to volunteer in the community; for example, she helped organize student volunteers for a homework program at a women's shelter.
