Community Outreach & Workforce Development (COWD) is pleased to announce that we have two exciting community-based volunteer opportunities for Humber students. Both opportunities are CCR certified.
Please feel free to circulate these opportunities to students involved in your programs.
- Technology Volunteer with TechServeTO
COWD is supporting TechServeTO, an organization that provides digital literacy and technology training to seniors in the GTA for free. TechServeTO is looking for student volunteers who are available to volunteer for a few hours a week to support seniors. The support happens virtually. TechServeTO will provide a background check and then training for student volunteers. TechServeTO is currently working with many non-profit organizations who serve local senior populations. Digital technology training is a crucial area of need for seniors, who, due to COVID-19, need to rely on technology more than ever to remain connected to peers and family, and to access services.
- Community Tutor with Boys & Girls Club of Albion
Boys and Girls Club of Albion (BGCA) is looking for Humber student volunteers to tutor in their afterschool youth programs, twice a week, between Fall 2020-Winter 2021. Sessions will be virtual and there will be staff available at all times. BGCA is located in North Etobicoke and primarily serves children, youth and their families in Rexdale.
For more information, interested students can contact COWD Community Outreach & Access Worker, Deborah Ithenumah at deborah.ithenumah@humber.ca or email communityoutreach@humber.ca.
