Volunteer and Job Opportunities will be posted here!!
The Ontario Ministry of Education requires that each student complete 40 hours of volunteer activities in the community in order to earn their Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Students can begin accumulating these hours as of July 1 after they finish grade 8.
I’d like to highlight two exciting opportunities for your students:
This Way ONward (ages 16+) – Students will receive pre-employment training and the chance to interview for a seasonal position at Old Navy. The virtual orientation session takes place next Wednesday, so if you are able to share this information early next week, it would be greatly appreciated. I’ve attached shareable graphics, along with the program description and registration link found below this message, to make it easy to pass along.
Skilled4Success Volunteer Program – This initiative ensures that students can access meaningful volunteer placements while also completing training and certifications to strengthen their resumes. Intake is ongoing, so please feel free to share the registration link with students looking to complete their community service hours: BGCL Volunteer Application
