Student volunteers assist other students through activities such as facilitating conversation groups for ESL students, acting as buddies for international students, conducting tours at Orientation and helping ESL students in a classroom setting. Volunteering is a great way to gain valuable experience and get involved in campus activities.
Most volunteers find that they benefit greatly through helping others.
The PSC offers students a chance to make friends, feel connected, learn about other cultures and make a contribution. In this program, volunteers go into ESL classrooms and work with students one on one or in small groups. Required Time Commitment Volunteers will be expected to devote 2 to 3 hours per week for 2 semesters. All volunteers will be required to attend a one-day training session before commencing their volunteer work. To pick up an application form or to learn more about this volunteer opportunity, contact the Counselling Department in Birch 267 or phone 984-1744.
