Visit the Volunteer Canada web site to find the volunteer centres in your community. Schools and other educational institutions post volunteer opportunities on their bulletin boards. Teachers and career counsellors can help you identify your skills and find suitable volunteer placements. Newspapers and radio stations regularly devote space to the activities of charitable organizations and their volunteer opportunities. Read the paper and find out when your radio station broadcasts its local calendar or bulletin board feature.
Many charitable organizations hold volunteer recruitment fairs in their communities.
Watch for notices in newspapers, on radio, in your school and on community bulletin boards. The Internet provides a wealth of information about volunteer opportunities. One site can link you to others you may not have thought of. Start by searching your favourite organization or cause.
