Each year students pursuing a career in Human Services visit our offices looking for volunteer opportunities to support their education and provide real world experience in the field. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀There are many organizations in our community that need volunteers and that would provide students with experience helping people. Here are a few things to keep in mind:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀1. The opportunities are diverse, so take time to consider what age group and cause you would most like to volunteer with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀2. It is likely that you will be working with a vulnerable population, requiring a Police Check - vulnerable sector. We can provide you with the required forms to help you get that check done for free.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀3. Start early. Don't wait until it is time to apply for your studies and all the students are looking for volunteer roles at once. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀4. Do your research. Check out volunteerconnector.org to find agencies in our community that need volunteers. Learn about their causes and what kinds of work they do. You can then apply for a posted role. If no needs are posted, we can still refer you to the agency. Give us a call at 250-287-8111 or visit our office at 900 Alder Street and our friendly staff can help. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#volunteer #volunteerism #campbellriver #volunteercr ...
