June 06, 2022Recently I met with a group of volunteer management coordinators to discuss volunteer engagement. We talked about using volunteering as a tool to give immigrants Canadian work experience and thereby making them more marketable as potential employees. Good intentions aside, there is more to gainfully employing volunteers than the Boss or Board of Directors swooping in and instructing everyone to get more volunteers! Those following my blog know my opinion of ‘volunteer engagement’ and that it isn’t one of my favourite terms.

For university and college students planning their future careers and preparing to step into the workforce, it is easy to feel nervous, overwhelmed, and unprepared. As a student myself, these are feelings I know all too well. We sometimes feel we lack the necessary skills, expertise, and connections to get the jobs and opportunities we want. We may even feel intimidated by the interview process, believing we are some kind of imposter waiting to be caught out. Volunteering is one great way to deal with this!
