Community Volunteer Group | Nov 22

Meeting Details: The Community Volunteer Special Interest Group invites all Emeritus College members to join us for our Fall meeting on Wednesday, November 22, 4-5:30pm following the Emeritus College General Meeting. 

The gathering will be a great opportunity to share volunteering activities that many of the emeriti are engaged in locally, nationally and internationally across a wide range of activities involving education, indigenous communities, health, the creative arts, the environment, senior living, and more.  We’ll hear from a group of emeriti in several areas as well as learn about various roles you can participate in from hands-on tutoring of youth to providing health services in low- and middle-income countries to serving on Boards of non-profits organizations and NGOs. 

If you are interested in speaking about your volunteer experience, please contact Nancy.Gallini@ubc.ca.  Or, alternatively, you can participate by attending the meeting to learn how you might contribute your skills, wisdom and expertise to rewarding volunteer opportunities that are in desperate need of volunteers.  At the meeting we will also share with you our plans to survey our members regarding their volunteer experiences and interests, and to identify dozens of community organizations that emeriti might be interested in exploring and contributing to.

Please join us on Wednesday, November 22 to share your knowledge and learn about the vast array of community volunteer activities that are available, and how to get involved. 

Meeting Format: In-person following the General Meeting.
