It is a&nbsp;<strong>super fun and flexible<\/strong>&nbsp;volunteering activity, where you are required to&nbsp;<strong>commit to a minimum of 3 activities throughout the whole year&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 each lasting&nbsp;<strong>no more than an hour and a half<\/strong>. Also, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of these activities will be&nbsp;<strong>virtual until further notice<\/strong>, meaning you can safely continue to inspire students from wherever you are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an excellent volunteer opportunity to develop your communication skills, participate in professional development and stand out on resumes and grant applications! We offer a ton of support including several kits, training, local and national awards, and offer the unique opportunity to reach Indigenous youth, Black youth, youth from lower socio-economic areas of the city and those who live in rural and remote areas in Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Register&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/YjqtK1WzoUPPUod4A\">here<\/a>&nbsp;to become a volunteer!
