Reflect, Research, Reach Out!
 
Interested in volunteering, but not sure where to start? Finding a volunteer role isn't always easy, but our 3R's guide gets your journey started! We recommend applying to 3-5 roles. Unfortunately, not all organizations may get back to you, but there is a large community of organizations looking for amazing volunteers like you! 
Reflect

Think about your needs and set realistic goals. Ask yourself:
  • What are you good at?
  • What do you want to learn from volunteering?
  • What causes do you care about it? 
  • What are you hoping to gain?
  • How much time do you have? What times are you available?
 
Research
Start exploring roles, looking at organizations, and different ways to get involved:
  • Visit volunteertoronto.ca. Search by category, keyword, organization, and location.
  • Explore virtual and in-person events where you can learn more about volunteering from our Volunteer Ambassadors.
  • Book a one-on-one appointment with our friendly and knowledgable team of Volunteer Advisors.
