Volunteering

Are you interested in volunteering? Check out the go volunteer website to browse volunteering opportunities in Vancouver.

 To get an idea of what's available, leave the "Search by Keyword" field blank, and choose "Vancouver" in the city field. Check "Special Events" for one-time volunteering opportunities. These are usually festivals and fund-raising events such as the Dragon Boat Festival. They're usually a lot of fun! Many organizations encourage people with ESL (English as a Second Language) to apply.

I've printed out some of the volunteer jobs that looked interesting, so you can check them out in class.
