Introduction:

Education does not just happen in the classroom but through your relationships and experiences.  It is important to try new things and to challenge yourself to learn and grow.  That is why it is beneficial for you to pay attention to the unique programs and volunteering opportunities that are available at the local, provincial, national and international level.  These programs and exchanges will be able to broaden your horizons, provide a new perspective and assist you in developing your leadership skills among others.

Volunteering is especially an important part of one’s life.  It is important to our society and community that everyone contributes and lends a helping hand to foster good relationships and good will.   A person can contribute by volunteering at the winter games or at a local school or on an international level.

Why should you volunteer?

  • You have something to give!
    • We all do, based on our skills or expertise.
    • You have something to learn!
  • You will gain valuable work experience regardless if it is done locally or internationally.
  • You can make a difference!
  • You are a global citizen.
