Culture Walks Program
The Culture Walks Program is a 5-week mentorship opportunity connecting students from the Bachelor of Global and International Studies (BGInS) program who are embarking on internships abroad with upper-year Carleton University students with any international work experience. As a volunteer Culture Walks Mentor, you will have the opportunity to share your workplace culture with fellow students, develop your leadership skills, enhance your communication skills, and build your resume!
This is a great opportunity to gain volunteer leadership experience!
