Looking for Something to Do this Summer?
Consider Volunteering!
Volunteering is a great way to:
- meet diverse groups of people
- discover new interests
- gain work experience in Canada
- practice communicating in English
- learn more about communities in Metro Vancouver
Resources for finding volunteer work include the Go Volunteer database and contacting a local community centre (links to individual community centres in Vancouver found here).
