How to Find Volunteer Opportunities as International Students

Are you excited to volunteer and gain some valuable Canadian experience? Let’s get started and check out where you can find cool volunteering opportunities. 

  1. Volunteer at Your School

Start with the school that you are attending. Be a part of a club or student committee in a leadership position. Employers like it when they see students being proactive and taking leadership positions. You can get in contact with your career or student advisor and ask if there is any volunteering opportunity available that they know of. 

  1. Volunteer at Non-profit Organizations

There are many non-profit organizations in Canada that are looking for great talents. You can browse volunteering opportunities on many trustworthy websites. Here are our favorites. 

  1. Do an Apprenticeship 

Apprenticeship is unpaid job training that involves following and learning from someone about specific skills. If an apprenticeship is part of your course, that’s great. If not, you can still find your own! Here are our favorite websites! 

  1. Participate in Projects & Competition

Start a project with a few friends, or start a project on your own is another great way to volunteer your time. Join online competitions like Hackathon or Case Competition is also a great idea. Here are some websites you can check out.
