The Power of Volunteering: Opportunities and Impact in Canada

Curious about volunteering but not sure where to begin?Join us for an in-person Volunteer Information Session where we explain how volunteering works in Canada, why it matters, and how it can benefit you personally.

In this 45-minute session (plus 15 minutes for Q&A), you’ll learn:

• Volunteering in Canada explained simply — why it’s important, how it works, and the role it plays in community life.
• The benefits for you — from building new skills and confidence to making connections and strengthening your career path.
• What it looks like in practice — hours, roles, references, and how volunteering can fit around your schedule and goals.
• Next steps — how to find opportunities that match your interests, including both AHC volunteer roles and opportunities with our partner organizations.

Whether you’re brand new to volunteering or looking for your next role, this session will give you clear, practical information and the confidence to get started.

Take your first step toward meaningful engagement, personal growth, and making a difference in your community.
