Whether you are a first time or returning volunteer, someone who wants to build new life or work-place skills, meet new people through volunteering, or you have specialized skills you can search online for a volunteer opportunity or meet with a volunteer advisor.
Volunteer Advisors meet with people one-on-one to help you explore options, learn more about agencies, and identify your favourite volunteering positions. They can help you prepare to apply for a volunteer position and follow-up to make sure you feel supported. Most importantly the advising service is free and you can meet with an advisor as many times as you need to until you find a position that works for you.
