Volunteer Opportunity for ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵ Students

Join ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵ Education as a volunteer to welcome new students!

 

What it’s about

On Wednesday, September 2 and Thursday, September 3 ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵ will be hosting orientations for new international students in our career programs. Each orientation will be run from (9:00am-12:30pm) and will take place at the Downtown Campus.

²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵ staff will be leading the orientations, but having returning international student involvement makes all the difference. After all, who better to learn from about the ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵstudent experience than from current international students!


What we are looking for

All volunteers are enthusiastic, outgoing international students who are currently in a ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵcareer programs.


What volunteers will do

Volunteers will assist with the check in and greeting process, lead campus tours and be available to answer questions about their program and experiences at VCC.

All volunteers must commit to a 1.5 hour training session and be available for at least one of the orientations (i.e. from 8:30am to approximately 12:45pm on either Wednesday, September 2 and/or Thursday, September 3).


What the benefits are

Volunteering has many benefits. Volunteers:

  • feel great about helping others,
  • enjoy meeting new people,
  • develop new skills through training,
  • learn even more about VCC,
  • receive a reference letter from ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵ²ÝÁñ¶ÌÊÓƵ Education (for volunteers who contribute a minimum of 9 hours of their time - i.e. are involved in the two orientations and training)

Are you ready?

We ask that all interested students complete an application so that we can meet and discuss your areas of interest and availability.
