Why Volunteer?
Volunteering is a great way to get entry-level career experience and meet new people. As a student, it is good practice to get involved in the community and gain relevant Canadian experience to build your resume for future co-op or work opportunities. Here are a few more benefits of volunteering:
- Community connections: Volunteering can support building meaningful connections and provide a sense of belonging in your new community
- Networking opportunities: Volunteering programs create spaces where students can meet peers and professional who can make valuable contributions to one’s career growth
- Skill development: Volunteering offers opportunities for students to build on skills that are often applicable in the job market and back in the classroom
